What’s What Over the years, different parts of Facebook have been called different things. Let’s review the current terminology...
11
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”.
12
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.
13
Wall, er, Profile When something is posted on your Timeline, they used to be talking about your Profile. Now your profile has become...
14
Your Timeline (top part)
15
Your Timeline (second part)

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.
21
How can Facebook be FREE? Facebook’s projected revenue for 2011 is $3.8 BILLION
22
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’.

You aren’t the customer; you’re the Product!

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.
41
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.
42
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.
43
Adding Friends Who you have in common. Look for personal connections, not public persons.
44
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.

General Account Settings - Apps Not so innocent, right?
72
General Account Settings - Apps Whenever you authorize an app, you are most likely compromising the privacy of every person to whom you are connected in Facebook. Use your noggin Before you ‘opt- in’!
73
General Account Settings - Apps Finally, should you decide to ‘opt-in’ to an app (Facebook apps are generally safer than 3 rd party apps) please consider setting some parameters as to who sees your activity with that app:

Facebook Ads Here’s where you need to be alert - especially if you don’t want to see your picture used in advertisements that appear on other people’s timelines.
76
Facebook Ads Ads shown by third parties: Facebook does not give third party applications or ad networks the right to use your name or picture in ads. If we allow this in the future, the setting you choose will determine how your information is used. You may see social context on third party sites, including in ads, through Facebook social plugins. Although social plugins enable you to have a social experience on a third party site, Facebook does not share your information with the third party sites hosting the social plugins.
