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!
