A Facebook Overview - A Getting Started Guide

A Facebook Overview - A Getting Started Guide


Summary

Love it or hate it, Facebook is the biggest social networking platform on the internet right now, and with 400 million active members, it cannot be ignored. Quick and simple to join, Facebook gives you the ability to link up with your real-life friends and communicate with them in an enjoyable and easy way.

Features


Perhaps one of the explanations why everyone seems to like Facebook so much, is the fact that there are so many varying ways to use it. Once you have filled in as much or as little personal information on your profile as you like, you can search for people you know and add' them as friends. They consequently get sent a friend request and can choose to allow or ignore your request. Once you have connected with your friends, there is a variety of ways in which you can communicate with them. For example, you can write a quick post on their wall', which is a public notice board on their profile or alternatively you can write something more personal to them in a private message which they alone can read.

However, Facebook provides you with the opportunity to do a lot more than communicating with your friends. On your profile you can alter your personal status, which will also appear in a newsfeed on all of your friends' homepages when they log in to Facebook. This is a very fast and easy way of letting all of your friends find out about what you are up to or how you are feeling. You can also use Facebook chat, their instant messaging system in order to have a private online chat with friends who are also logged into Facebook at the same time.

One of the most popular aspects of Facebook is that it allows you to upload photos onto the site, which you can share with your friends by tagging' them in the photo - they can then comment on the ones they like or dislike. For many of people, this alone is a reason for joining Facebook as it is a way of sharing digital images with lots of people very easily - rather than sending them all by email for example.

Limitations

Obviously for a lot of people especially those who are new to social networking - the issue of privacy is a great concern. Facebook has come under fire in the past for allowing some private information to be publicly accessible. However it has responded well to criticism and users now have full control over their privacy settings so that they can manage the extent of information that is available to the public and how much is available only to people who are their friends on Facebook.


Other problems that people have encountered are far more trivial. For example, users can be tagged in unbecoming photos by their friends. However, these can easily be de-tagged if you resolve that you do not want other people to see them.

Facebook is a very big site, with so many different functions and applications that it can be overwhelming and essentially off-putting for some. In contrast, the extent and variety of time-wasting opportunities on Facebook can become a diversion in the workplace for others and may even develop into a detrimental addiction.

Conclusion

Facebook has so many different functions that it is impossible to give details about them all in depth here. Whilst this may be daunting to the inexperienced, once you have spent a bit of time getting to grips with the different social networking opportunities that Facebook offers, you may well find yourself agreeing with those who say that nowadays, it is an essential tool.
