30. facebook 101: leeyuiwah.blogspot.com 30 Step 1: Friends->Invite Friends Step 2a: type in email address Step 2b: type a personal message (personally I think it is a good idea to always do this step) Step 3: invite

33. facebook 101: leeyuiwah.blogspot.com 33 Effective facebooking Reciprocal Principle: the more you comment on other people items, the more people will comment on yours Observe the News Feed and Status Update on your Home: Some actions have more effects than others. E.g. Status: A one-line diary! (I keep a local copy too) Commenting has much effect Writing a Group Post has relatively smaller effect (more on Group later)

34. facebook 101: leeyuiwah.blogspot.com 34 How about your privacy? (IMHO) Do not show these on your Profile Full birthday Telephone number Street address Edit my profile -> Basic Information -> Birthday -> “Don’t show my b’day” Edit my profile -> Contact Information -> Mobile Phone -> (the lock icon) -> “No one” or “Only Friends”

37. facebook 101: leeyuiwah.blogspot.com 37 How about your privacy? (Cont’d) General Strategies (IMHO) More restrictive in the beginning, relax as you understand more (I prefer this) More friends -- Little Info (I prefer this) A lot of friends / No private info on profile Few friends -- Lots of Info (I don’t prefer this) Close friends only / More private info on profile I would say most of the default settings are okay, but please feel free to review them
