What Does It Do? http://youtu.be/hzPEPfJHfKU
Why, Why, Why ? In order to stay fresh, Facebook believes it needs to change up the user experience on a regular basis
Why, Why, Why ? Facebook wants to avoid following the paths of MySpace, Friendster and other once popular social media websites
Why, Why, Why ? And Facebook wants to stay ahead of competition like Twitter and
What’s What Over the years, different parts of Facebook have been called different things. Let’s review the current terminology . . .
Newsfeed Click “Home” on the upper right to see streaming posts from your friends, subscriptions and pages that you liked. This is different than your “Timeline”, which used to be your “Wall”.
Newsfeed Posts from your friends and pages that you like will appear on this wall. ONLY YOU can see this page. If you see something you would like for YOUR friends to see, click SHARE and it will appear on your Timeline.
Wall, er, Profile When something is posted on your Timeline, they used to be talking about your Profile. Now your profile has become . . .
How can Facebook be FREE… …when Facebook’s annual expenses exceed $1 BILLION??? Facebook makes money selling targeted ads, based on what YOU and your FRIENDS put on Facebook.
How can Facebook be FREE? Facebook’s projected revenue for 2011 is $3.8 BILLION
Surely there’s an Ulterior Motive? If you put up something about snowboarding or you ‘liked’ a post about cooking, or if you ‘like’ Pages about a certain musical band . . . You will start seeing ads related to those topics, so be careful what you ‘like’.
Accepting Friend Requests You can click “Confirm” or “Not Now”. WARNING: Just by sending a friend request, that person will now receive your posts and be able to view your Timeline.
Finding friends via email address: Don’t want to be friends with the world? Don’t use this option. EVER. You can create “Lists” of categories of friends, interests or places.
Adding your profile shot A headshot is recommended, but any jpeg will do. You can crop a photo once it’s uploaded, or tell it to fit.
Adding Friends Who you have in common. Look for personal connections, not public persons.
Sample of a ‘Fake Profile’ It is against Facebook’s Terms of Service (TOS) to use a fake name or a business name in a personal profile. Facebook will, without warning, deny you access and then delete this profile.
Remember….. In Facebook, the only constant…. is Change!
