How You Can Appreciate The Features Of Facebook

Before you stomp an electronic SOS in the virtual sandy beach try to enjoy the many features of Facebook on your own. Your friends are probably already experts. Plus, there is a help menu and lots of extra directions and information provided as you explore all facets of your page.

Create your profile is a great place to start. You can choose how much or how little personal information to reveal. Choose how much you want your friends to know about you. Remember that you can change your profile picture daily or never. Everything is up to you.

You can browse Causes that you support and post them to your page. You can share Causes that you are passionate about with friends. You can raise funds for organizations and groups on your page. You can create your own local Cause and ask for support, create notes, a fan page, and more. Just practice.

Relatives and friends spread out across the country enjoy the photo albums. You get to name the album, decide which pictures to put in the album, and pick who gets to see the album. You will be able to create an album cover, tag people by name in each photo, and you can organize it. If you post it to your page it will show up in the “news feed” and “live feed” where it can be shared by others.

It’s simple to post videos to your site. Post links to videos and internet articles to share with everyone. I have videos posted that show my son issuing Halloween greetings, carving his pumpkins, and showing off his costume. I have also posted videos from news sites about current issues to the top of my page.


Rather than just play games, you can own a restaurant, live in the country, build a theme park or live in a different time. What’s really cool is that you will nearly always need “neighbors” and you get them by inviting your friends. I am growing crops on three farms. Yesterday I added a new barn and some beautiful streams. My daughter has joined the mafia and has created her own roller coaster theme park.

Commenting is a way to instantly voice your opinion or make a joke. Chide a friend, make a new connection, or create a relationship is part of the experience. The comment feature is augmented with live chat and private messaging. Live chat allows you to carry on several little talks with multiple friends while you are still on the page taking other actions. Private messages are easy to send and no one else can read them except you and your buddy.

Before you know it you will send and receive hugs, smiles, and other posts that will brighten your day or one of your friends. The more you use it the easier it becomes to use all of the fun features for work or play. Mostly play, right?
