Finding friends
Introduction
To get the most out of Facebook, you will want to connect with your friends and family. Fortunately, Facebook makes it easy to find people you know and add them as your Friends. You can even find old classmates, colleagues and people with similar interests.
How to Find Friends
Facebook is set up to encourage you to find Friends by allowing Facebook to access and import your contactsfrom your email and various other social accounts. Facebook uses this information to connect you with Friends and to make suggestions to you based on your contact lists.
If you are uncomfortable with giving Facebook access to your accounts and contact lists, then you can search for Friends individually or through networks, like city, employer, or school.
Sending a Friend Request
Once you find your Friends, you will need to send them a Friend Request to get them to connect with you on Facebook.
Select the Add as Friend link next to the person you want to send a Friend Request to.
The Friend Request dialog box will appear. If you wish, you can send a message to the person along with your request. When finished, click Send Request.
Keep in mind, the person will have to confirm that they want to be your Friend on Facebook before they can be added to your Friends list.
Sharing On facebook
Introduction
There are many things that you can share with your Facebook Friends: personal updates, photos, links, and more. The things you share will appear in your Facebook Timeline and on your Friends' News Feeds.
Sharing with the Facebook Publisher
The Facebook Publisher is a tool that you can use to share with your Friends. You can access your Publisher in two places:
- On the Timeline section of your Profile
- At the top of the News Feed on your Home Page
One of the most common things people share are status updates, which are short, text-based posts that your Friends can read and comment on. Your Friends will be able to see your status updates and other important shares on their News Feeds and Tickers. The things you share will also be preserved in the Timeline on your Profile.
To Post a Status Update:
Locate the Publisher box on your Timeline or News Feed, then type your update.
Click the Audience Selector, then select the post privacy level from the drop-down menu.
Click Post.
The post will be published to your Timeline and in your Friends' News Feeds and Tickers.
Sharing on a Friend's Timeline
To share something on a Friend's Timeline, simply use the Publisher located on that Friend's Profile. Note that you cannot control privacy settings for the posts you create on your Friends' Timelines. For this reason, you should think before posting anything that might be inappropriate or embarrassing. If you don't want other people to be able to see your post, just send it as a message
More Types of Sharing
The Status Update is only one example of something you can share. You can also:
- Post a photo or video.
- Share a link by typing or pasting the link into the Publisher.
- Tag a Friend, which shares the post to that Friend's Timeline, as well.
- Add your location.
- Ask a question. (You can only do this from the Publisher that appears on the Home Page.)
