How You Can Benefit from New Facebook Options
How to use Facebook's new options for variety of features
Have you used Facebook for socializing? Or, do you hope to use Facebook for business reasons? In the previous article, Linda provided fifteen reasons why you might choose to use Facebook. In this article, she'll show you how Facebook's new options can provide you with a variety of features yet with a wide range of options for privacy. You can exhibit your knowledge and skills while you learn how to build your network one step at a time.
Getting to Know You
I wanted to introduce you to Facebook before LinkedIn, Twitter or any other social mediums, because Facebook is more difficult to traverse, both tactically and emotionally. Facebook made some drastic changes in their layout recently. While many long-time users are not happy with these changes, it seems that some of these users are becoming accustomed to the new features. And, new users and folks who have an account, but who have fallen by the wayside as they played with other social media 'toys,' have discovered a new playground with Facebook's realigned features.
The question that people keep batting around is this: "How can I separate my business and personal life at Facebook?" This question is relevant in a world that now demands transparency. The second question is, "How can I protect my information from certain people?"
First, allow me to provide you with a short tour of Facebook's most basic elements so you can feel more comfortable with their up-front tools. Then, I'll show you some tricks on how to limit or expand your interactions and privacy. As you learn the information provided below, please keep in mind that Facebook may make even more changes in the near future.

Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation.

Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
