Facebook

Facebook has changed so much since I last used it regularily, I can't quickly wrap my head around it. I think it has gr8 potential as a communications tool.
It's been about 18 months since I last really logged on. Because I don't have internet at home, and had a commute to work of about 1 hour to 1 and a half hours I found all of the pokes and game request really annoying to wade through.
I would like to start playing with it again, because i would like to understand all of the new features - facebook likes to copy other websites that are doing good things with technology, like geolocation ......
I also need to wrap my head around who can see what nowdays. Facebook keeps amending the privacy settings - so that mine are differnet to what I originally set and I think nowdays friends of friends can see my posts.....
Not sure - that's why I need to play and research....

  2. I agree with Newbie01, and if my friends and family in the Uk are anything to go by not just the teenies.

  3. Facebook is not just a communication tool for teens - it's increasingly becoming the marketing tool of choice for all sectors of the economy! And it's one of the easiest Web 2.0 tools for libraries to initiate and administer.
