Benji, updating is definitely an issue, both because of Facebook’s progress and the application developers. That is one of the main reasons we have http://www.FacebookAdvice.com, which we call “the blog behind the book.”

Josh – I totally agree with you on both points (not everyone is online and FB shouldn’t be your sole strategy). FB can be a great professional tool, but it shouldn’t be the only tool you use.

I know, I know but some people are simply not internet people, others know better than to get sucked into a STK (I like that acronym!), and then my conscious in insisting people sign up FB. I’ve already seen a couple get sucked in deep.

If anything, I’m sure there’s a rule someone saying not to base an effort on one communication channel. At least couple it with a blog, other website, mailing list, etc…

Josh – one of the things that Facebook does well is draw people in with all its invitations. If you know someone that might be interested in your group, invite them to it by email and that alone may get them to join Facebook.

Benji – they may have to update it already, but since both the authors have pitched in here I’ll let them take that one.

Ina – glad you liked the read.

Jesse – thanks for the updates. I’ll keep my eyes open and check out Jaxter. Nice how you Utah guys (Utahniks? Utahpians?) stick together :)

Jason – I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em :) Good job, you two.

Jacob, thanks for this review. I like the “what I didn’t like” first. I’ll take this away: “I was surprised by how much I liked this book.” Priceless, considering JibberJobber’s last review got a C, so I know how you grade things :p

Regarding the book, we got it out quickly, working together in a complementary fashion. Regarding keeping it updated, we are doing updates on the blog behind the book: http://www.FacebookAdvice.com.

Jacob,

Thank you for your great comments, and especially your critique. Linking Universe I am told should be exiting beta over the next week or two – keep an eye out! One other app you might want to try if you like the concept of the GrandCentral app but can’t join GrandCentral is the Jaxter app (they are also a client of mine). I believe they target a slightly more international audience.

Thanks Jacob! This book sounds realy interesting! How did they manage to actualy write one and publish it in such a short time! I agree, it must be updated rather frequently as FB is changing sooooo fast! (Not that I keep up with all the appications as most are total STK as you said :) )
Thanks heaps!
