  Facebook is the social networking site that has taken first undergrads, then high schoolers, and finally the rest of the world by storm since its 2004 launch at Harvard by then-undergrad Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook Book , by Harvard alums and early Booksters Atwan and Lushing, follows in the fine satirical tradition of The Official Preppy Handbook and The Hipster Handbook , full of anecdotes (true and semi-true), tips (useful and useless) and other insights, including chapters on the Ethics and Etiquette of using the 'Book, what your profile really says about you, and a Facebook dictionary (which defines for the uninitiated terms like frenemey and fauxmance ). The Facebook Book will appeal not only to undergrads, but also high schoolers (to whom the site was recently opened), savvy parents, and anyone who's tapped into Web 2.0 culture and counterculture.
