Mega-Bite Feature: Facebook – What is Facebook?
Filed Under Productivity, episode, free, fun, guide, how-to, mega-bite, screencast, sharing, social, special offer, tricks, tutorial | 4 Comments
What is Facebook? Facebook is a “Social Network”, sort of like MySpace. One of Facebook’s defining differences from MySpace, however, is that it has a much higher population of College or Post-Grad members which means that, in general, the atmosphere is much more professional and mature. So, if you are looking for a way to connect with your friends, or find new ones, without stooping to the level of disco balls, piercings, and high school lingo… Facebook is your network.
Part 1:
- Getting an Account
- Finding Friends
- Customizing Your Profile
- Adjusting Privacy Controls
- Communicating with Others
There was just no way for me to cover Facebook in one 10 minute video though, so I’m releasing it as Tech-Bite’s first ever FREE Mega-Bite!
Under normal circumstances, I probably would have put this hour-long episode together as a DVD and made it available for purchase, but this Mega-Bite is going to be available to everyone and at no cost! Just subscribe to the Tech-Bites newsletter using the form below and you will be given immediate access to my full Mega-Bite tutorial on Facebook! Subscribers will also know when new videos or Mega-Bites are available in the future.
Here’s what we will be covering in the 2 additional Facebook videos (altogether totaling about 1 hour in length!) :
Part 2 (subscribers only):
- Reading the Newsfeed
- Personalizing the Newsfeed
- Adding Applications
- Joining Groups
- Becoming a Fan
Part 3 (subscribers only):
- How to Get Your Email Inside Facebook
- Adding RSS
- Working on Office Documents (like Word docs, Excel, Powerpoint, and more) together with friends on Facebook
- Adding your Twitter
- An Overview of Desktop Applications for Facebook
Just type in your Name and Email below to watch the next two videos in my Facebook Mega-Bite series. (Already a member? No Problem! Either click the link that came to you in the most recent newsletter, OR type your previously registered name and email here. My system will recognize you and let you through!)
