The Cognition of the Read/Write Web

So I’m leading a workshop today on using facebook. There really does seem to be a shortage of tutorial material for facebook. However, with its dynamic/mashup capabilities & continual improvements I can see how you could spend a lot of time working on a guide that would soon be obsolete. I’m going to list some resources below, feel free to share what you find as comments. I actually find the absurd / joking / humor sites to be the most informative… you should revisit them when you’ve gained some experience.

Tutorials & start-up guides:

• Newbie’s Guide to Facebook
• 7 Things You Should Know About… Facebook II via Educause
• Social Networking: A beginner’s Guide to Facebook
• Facebook Tutorial from Diversity College

Apps:

• Facebook powertools from Mashable

Jokes (that also inform):

• The Unofficial and Smartass Guide to Using Facebook
• Facebook Etiquette (a college humor classic)
• Steve Speaks about Stalking
• and finally the Facebook songs doesn’t say it all, but it says a lot…
