While the book has divided its readers to two camps (leave it, do not leave it), I would like to take a third stand -- that Facebooks is not for everyone: stick with it if it is for you and leave it immediately if it is no for you. And here is the book that will help you to determine if it is for you.I am an avid fan of Facebook and a power-user. I have 5000 friends and more than 6000 "Subscribers" who could not become my friends due to the 5000-person friend limit. I also have a "group" with close to 20,000 members. I post every day, and numerous people respond to me. Thus I am an "insider" as far as Facebook use is concerned.I read this book with this background in mind, and find that a good amount of what the author says is true. However, these things do not concern me, and therefore I continue because being "on" Facebook gives me enormously more benefit than quitting it. After all, for me, it is a matter of daily influence upon 20,000 odd people with my campaigns -- something personal which no other medium (including email) offers because of the multi-media capabilities of Facebook. So I will REMAIN on Facebook.On the other hand, there are many for whom even the mere mention of their name, phone number, or such personal information is a matter of great concern. Whatever the reason for such concern, they should immediately quit Facebook. Social media comes to at some personal cost, and those who cannot afford to pay this cost should quit before it is too late.Observations:*** Very accurate analysis*** Social Media do demand their pound of flesh*** The book explains it all*** If paying the pound of flesh gives you enormous advantage, remain there*** But do learn of what it takes away from you by reading this book*** If you are not willing to give that pound of flesh, get yourself informedRecommendation:*** Extremely useful analysis*** Buy with confidence
