Facebook Privacy Issues

Posted on October 23, 2011 by greenbucks| 3 Comments

You think everything you put in Facebook, no matter how you keep it private, remains private? Think again.

There is currently a movement called EUROPE V FACEBOOK and if you read the issues there (never mind if some were written in German, have someone else translate it to you like I did), you will learn a lot.

Here is another link about Facebook’s Privacy Issues.

What you will learn will make you re-think about the thing you personally share.

On the other hand, at least in Facebook, you found long-lost relatives, friends and people you used to be friends with and that’s a good thing. In fact, you think it is the best thing to happen ever since you learned to surf the web.

Ok then, just be careful about the thing you post and please, keep some of those information PRIVATE.

Facebook: People Tagging Others With Their Merchandise

Posted on December 14, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Facebook has got to be THE one for the books in terms of having the most number of subscribers. Everybody and his aunt are on Facebook, even pets, jejemons and attention-seeking people. Especially attention seeking people.

In all its intricacies and simplicity, good points and bad, Facebook is a great repository of links, helpful or not, happy or sad. People ogle at their friends’ travels, baby photos, status updates on what they are currently doing at the right time and begin to get engrossed in a virtual world that seem to be happening in real life. Aminin!

At times, Facebook feels like people are back in high school, boasting about how many friends they have, whether or not they know these people personally or not.

Facebook has become a place to chat, keep up, brag, give one’s POV on the latest happenings around the world or just plain updating on things that are important like family, significant milestones and changes.

Judging by how people seem to congregate to this Social Media, it is but right to assess how much one can get involved and how one should let other people get involved in their accounts.

For me, the key ingredient in interacting with people in Facebook would be PRIVACY. This is one of the reasons why I was not easily accessible in Facebook early on when I signed up because I’ve set my profile to not get friend invites from people. I instead was the one requesting people to be friends with me. Looking back, this was kinda pathetic but hey, at least I get to choose who I get to see in my time line. Read more »

How to Make a Friends List on Facebook

Posted on September 29, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

I turn the chat button on my friends list on and off whenever I feel like it. Maybe some of my relatives are online so I check by turning on the button for “_____ relatives” list of friends.

Oops! However, if there is someone I don’t want to chat with that I see online (not necessarily from the relatives, LOL), I immediately switch off that chat button where the name belongs to. We’ll just probably chat next time I’m up to it 😉

So, what are the steps on how you can make a friends list on Facebook?

  • Click on the “ACCOUNT” button at the upper right corner of your facebook page. When this is clicked, a scroll down menu will drop down.

  • When the drop down menu goes down, click “EDIT FRIENDS”
  • When a new page opens, click the button that says “CREATE A LIST” and a smaller box will pop-up
  • Click “CREATE LIST” and the cursor will go to a box on the upper left side where you can encode the name of the list you want to use (e.g. neighbors, high school friends, cousins)

  • Once you encode a list’s name, choose who among your friends you would want in that list. There is no need to type the whole name, just the first three letters will help you choose members of this list OR just click on your friend’s name to be included in the list.

There, you have your friends listed in lists/groups, now it is easy to see who is online or not by clicking on the button of the list’s name IN THE CHATBOX.
