Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Facebook is a great tool for staying connected to friends, family, and organizations that you care about. But due to the type of information that many of us share on FB privacy is always a concern. As IBMC moves to stay more in touch with students via Facebook we want to make sure you are familiar with Facebook’s privacy settings and how to adjust them.

This brief video tutorial shows you exactly where to find your settings and how to adjust them:

Facebook is a social networking website launched in February 2004 and operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can add people as friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by workplace, school, or college. The website’s name stems from the colloquial name of books given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better. Anyone age 13 or older can become a Facebook user.
