Over the past couple of months I have introduced a number of my friends to Facebook. Generally I have always had the same response back, "I’m not sure what to do" or "Bebo is easier". I agree getting started with Facebook is not straight forward as it could be. So here are ten simple slides to get you started with Facebook.

Oh no, not Facebook again

Already a Facebook guru, check out my post on 25 Facebook Desktop and Web Applications. Not sure why you need a Facebook account, especially one for business? Read Entrepreneurs Need Both Facebook and LinkedIn, although personally I have given up with LinkedIn. Perhaps your not even sure what facebook is? Check out this short video.

How to use Facebook

The idea of the slides is to give you pointers on places to explore within Facebook, highlighting its main features. l’ve tried to keep these slides as simple as possible.

1) Creating Your Profile

2) Find Friends

3) Interact with Friends

4) Find Groups to Join

5) Interact with a Group

6) Manage your Applications

7) Add an Application

8 ) Adding Photo’s

9) Attend Events

10) Additional Features and Settings

Alternatively you can view these slides at SlideShare, although the conversion quality isn’t what I hoped for.

Terinea on Facebook

While on the subject of Facebook here is our open group called "Friends of Terinea", why not pop by and say hello. Oh and by the way, Bebo is for kids!
