 TIMELINE
 Before you begin searching for friends, it’s important
to complete your Timeline (aka your personal
profile), which includes everything from uploading a
profile picture and cover photo to outlining your
employment history to determining your relationship
status(OK, that’s optional).
 It’s called a timeline because you can include
information, important milestones and memories
spanning your entire life. Timeline is incredibly
nuanced, and encourages you to include as much
detail as possible, and many, many people do.
 FRIENDS
 Once you’ve filled out a healthy portion of your
Timeline, start searching for and adding “friends.”
Trust us, you won’t be at a loss. Chances are, many of
your co-workers, family members, classmates and
neighbors are already on the network. Search for
them in the search box that appears on the top of the
site.
 As you accumulate friends, Facebook will be able to
suggest additional contacts as its algorithm generates
connections among your growing network. You’ll see
a list of suggested friends on Facebook’s homepage, in
the “People You May Know” sidebar.
 NEWS FEED
 Finding friends on Facebook is incredibly important, not
simply to connect for connection’s sake, but to stay up to date
on their latest news, thoughts, activities, whereabouts and
tastes. And the place to access that information is the News
Feed.
 Once you’ve logged into Facebook, the first thing you'll see is
the News Feed. There you’ll view friends’ status updates,
new photos, links to articles, etc.
 . Think of it like the front page of a newspaper, determined
by an algorithm rather than an editor. Therefore, you won’t
necessarily see updates in the order they’re posted, but in
order of timeliness and “importance.”
 If you prefer to see things in chronological order, simply click
the "Sort" option at the top of your feed and select "Most
Recent."
 THE STAUS UPDATE
 A status update is anything important to
you at a particular moment in time that you
deem shareable with Facebook friends.
 Through a status update, you can communicate
your present activity or whereabouts (via a
“check-in”), post a link to an interesting article or
site, share photos and videos, and even create a
poll.
 Create a status update either from the News
Feed or from the top of your Timeline.
 THE ‘LIKE’ BUTTON
 One of the most powerful tools on Facebook, the “like” button
not only communicates your support of activities, brands,
articles and products to fellow users, but also to Facebook and
third parties.

 The “like” button lives on nearly every piece of Facebook

content: status updates, photos, comments, brands
timelines, apps and even ads.
 TAGGING
 Facebook tagging means you can mention and directly
link to another Facebook user, whether in photos,
status updates, check-ins or comments.

 Forinstance, when you tag someone in a photo, that user

will receive a notification, and the tagged photo will
appear on his timeline — that is, unless he has disabled
the tagging feature.
