The best thing about social networking to create an online presence is the ability to self-market. Don’t be afraid to contact connections for information or advice. People are surprisingly willing to share information even if they are only a virtual” friend. 11/01/11 WCPLS
- 7. Create a Powerful Online Presence When setting up a profile, think about what uses the profile will have – job hunting? Connecting with old friends? Professional networking? Structure each profile carefully and provide useful information that reflects your abilities and interests in a positive light. Google yourself. It is often surprising what information shows up. Zero online presence is better than a negative one, but that means the rewards of a positive online presence are still there to be reaped. Set up a Google Alert. © Geraldine Eliot 11/01/11 WCPLS

Editor's Notes
- #2: Who has an account?
- #4: When founded How many users Common audience
- #6: Don’t add your phone number or address. A spam email acct is appropriate. Facebook 1601 S California Avenue Palo Alto CA 650-853-1300
- #7: It helps to choose the right online platform for the user’s specific needs:
- #8: Facebook terms limit you to one profile.
- #10: The internet is forever, tell your children to think about this when posting – someone can find it even if it years after Final Thoughts on an Online Presence Creating and maintaining an online presence takes some time and a lot of following up, but the rewards can be great. There are many success stories of people being recommended on LinkedIn and getting a new job, of promotions given because employers were impressed by their worker’s profiles and the positive picture they painted of their workplace, but there are as many horror stories of people being fired because of inflammatory remarks or pictures that show the employee in a compromising position (for example, at a party when they claimed they were ill). For children especially, don’t send out your information even on a resume if you aren’t sure who is getting it- craigs list has some example of things gone wrong
- #12: Notes can be a place to post & share information to long for a status update. ***be aware that applications can datamine not only your information but your friends.
- #13: Whose Walls can I write on? Facebook only lets you write on your friends' Walls and your own Wall. You can also write on the Wall of any Page you become a fan of. The Wall is the center of your profile for adding new things, like photos, videos, notes and other application content. The Publisher at the top of your Wall allows you to update your status and share content through many different kinds of Wall posts. You can also add content to your friends’ Walls by using the Publisher box that appears at the top of their profiles. Wall-to-Wall allows you to see the history of Wall posts between two individuals. You are only permitted to see the Wall-to-Wall between two people if privacy settings normally allow you to see both individuals' Walls.
- #15: Facebook automatically defaults to your Home page when you log in. It's where you will find your friends' activities, that is if you have friends already. Your Friends page is, of course, where you will find a list of your friends and where you can search for other people who you would like to be your friend. Your Messages contains mail that you receive or send to friends and updates from pages=brands/groups that you have subscribed to. Filters: lists you make and provide a view of only certain friends activities on your homepage. You can add friends to these lists and create them as you add friends. To get to your filtered friends activities, click on Friends on the left then click Edit Friends button on the top right. Your filters will then appear on the left and an alphabetical list of your Friends appears. Requests: friend requests and application invitations, will appear here. Clicking on an invitation gives you the option to Accept, Ignore, or Block. News Feed: Here you will see all your friends' activities on Facebook. Wall posts, uploaded photos or videos, posted links, etc. It does not show everything and how items are picked is unknown & speculated upon.
- #16: Your profile page is your own "personal space" on facebook. It is where your friends will find your profile picture or avatar, your friends list, applications widgets, and your tabs. By default, there are two tabs when you sign in: Wall and Info. Info . Defaults to the information you typed in when you signed up for Facebook. You can add or remove data at any time. Wall . The wall is your main "space" on Facebook. Just like on a real wall, you and your friends (if you choose to let them do so) can "write" on this wall by using the What's on your mind? box right below the tabs. Items posted to your wall can appear in Friends newsfeeds.
- #17: Options vary depending on if you are clicking on a page post or a person’s status posting on your news feed
- #20: This feature is on the top right when you click on a Friends picture and go to their profile. It shows some the interactions and things you have both ‘liked’ on Facebook, Friends in common, etc.
