Most people start on facebook to interact with family and friends. As you spend time on facebook, you add more and more contacts as your colleagues, business and interests bring you into contact with new people and pages. While they may all be perfectly lovely people, a nagging thought is always
“Do I want to share my life with this person?”
Well there are several solutions, depending on what you are trying to achieve:
- Use lists to separate your family from your speculative interests. It can be a pain to remember to always click on the security padlock, but it does give you a moment to review the post before sending.
- Have a fanpage for your business.
they say that they don’t allow businesses or public figures to create profiles (expand the third bullet). However, their terms of service don’t spell out this restriction. Yet.
crowinfodesign.com You don’t want to build something just to get it closed on you. There are promotions, events and applications to support your social media marketing.
- Having a group to share your interests. Groups do not allow applications but are good for long discussions.
When you are looking at a new page you can now like the page and have their information flowing across your wall. Or you can add them to your business page using the “add to my page’s favourites” under their logo in the top left, and then they will be linked to your fanpage.
Have a great week.
