Editorial Reviews

Gr 4–7—These introductions provide general information on how blogs and social networks are important resources. Clear, well-organized content discusses the history of, and key people involved in, the development of weblogs, online diaries, journals, and social networking sites. Captions and sidebars offer short facts throughout; relevant color photographs will hold readers' interest. Both books cover microblogging on Twitter. Raatma does not describe how to create a blog or set up an account on a social networking site, so the books will appeal to those curious about the technology rather than those who wish to use it.—Melissa Smith, Green Valley Library, Henderson, NV
