Description

The every person's guide to social media... how to use it and what never to do. Are you trying to figure out how to safely use social media but finding yourself struggling? Here's a book specifically designed to help regular people figure out social media platforms. It begins with a chapter about social media basics: how they normally work, why people use them, and general safety tips. It is easy to get confused by the large number of options that are out there so this book breaks down each major network into its own chapter. Chapters are included for: -Facebook -Snapchat -Pinterest -LinkedIn -Instagram -YouTube -Twitter -Reddit, and -Tumblr. Because each social media platform has its their own rules, benefits, and challenges, each chapter gives a summary of the platform and tells the reader why people use it. Next, each chapter has a glossary of terms to explain language and slang that are used. This will help people who are new to social media learn about terminology like subreddits, retweets, and more. If readers decide to use the platform (or already use it and want to learn more), each chapter guides users through a "how-to" of using each platform. This includes the basic functionality, setting up profiles, settings, and odd features that even current users may not know about. Privacy and safety are also covered, with a platform-specific section devoted to these important issues in each chapter. Two final chapters cover other notable social media platforms that readers might want to know about and archiving tips for saving social media posts and information. This book can help people new to social media, people joining new social media, and people who are already on but want to learn how to better manage and protect their accounts.

Offering practical approaches and perspectives on privacy protection- including safety tips for each platform- this book is a timely release in our era of social saturation, fake news, and phishing. Karle's book is reassuring yet realistic, comprehensive yet concise. A Social Media Survival Guide is a valuable resource that has arrived just in time to help readers navigate the increasingly complicated and intertwined environment of social media.--Lindsay Cronk, Head of Collection Strategies, University of Rochester, River Campus Libraries
Melody Karle's A Social Media Survival Guide is the primer that has been needed for some time now. Karle provides smart guidelines for navigating the shark-infested waters of social media. Need a social media reference manual? No worries! This book is full of explanations and examples that illustrate best practices for today's most popular platforms. Karle caps this pragmatic work with suggestions on preserving social interactions that have become the internet we all rely on every day.--Bobby Reed, Head of Emerging Technologies, The University of Oklahoma Libraries
A Social Media Survival Guide: How to Use the Most Popular Platforms and Protect Your Privacy by Melody Karle is full of pragmatic advice, with an eye towards making people comfortable joining online networks by pointing out the strengths of some of the most popular social sites and apps. Karle provides wary and skeptical new-comers with an easy-to-understand take on safety and privacy online, with lessons-learned and warnings that are wise, rather than dire. This book is perfect for helping you get started with social media, and puts you ahead of many experienced users by taking an in-depth look at each social media platform individually, including terminology, features, and tips. Even the social media savvy can benefit from this book, which is a rich source of best practices and new or hidden features, as well as the author's thoughts on dealing with issues like social media burnout, and turning online connections into in-person opportunities for personal and professional networking. I recommend this book to social media new-comers and advanced users alike. The lessons learned are practical and perfect for learning or teaching others about social media.--Valerie Forrestal, Web Services Librarian/Asst. Professor, College of Staten Island Library, City University of New York
