More Facebook questions answered
Q-I enjoyed your article last month. Three years ago I could navigate Facebook without any problem and now with all the changes it feels completely new to me. Do you have any more tips?
A-I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed last month's article. I can relate to your frustration, it seems as technology is changing faster than we can adapt to the changes. To help with that I'm going to answer multiple questions to make navigating Facebook a little simpler.
Q: How can I control who sees what I put on Facebook?
A: For each thing you share there is an audience selector at the bottom right of your post. By clicking on the audience selector you control who can and who can't see what you're sharing. To fully utilize this tool it is helpful to create "Friend Lists".
Q: What is a "Friend Lists"?
A: "Friend Lists" is a feature that allows you to customize who can see what in terms of the categories you have placed your ‘Friends’ in. You can organize all your friends into different affiliation groups like Friends, Family, Colleagues, etc. With this tool you can define the privacy policies for which you wish to apply to each group as opposed to each person individually. For instance, you might want to prevent your “Colleagues” friends from seeing any photos you had and will upload, but allow your “Friends” and “Family” to see them.
To set up "Friend Lists: go to the right of your Facebook page, next to "FRIENDS" select "MORE", select "+Create List", enter the List Name and the Members (Friends) you would like to add. You can always add and remove people later.
Q: Where are my privacy and account settings?
A: A quick way to view and adjust some of the more popularly used privacy settings and tools is from your Privacy Shortcuts on the blue bar at the top right of your page. To view and edit your Account Settings and Privacy Setting click in the upper-right corner of the blue bar on your page.
Q: What happens when I send someone a message and who can see my messages?
A: When you send someone a message, it gets delivered to the person’s Facebook messages. If the person you messaged has turned chat on, your message will appear as a chat. If they have chat off, the message will appear in their message inbox and they will receive a notification once the person sees your message, it will be marked as seen. Only you and the people you’re messaging with can view the contents and history of your messages.
