Facebook's Little Secrets

From the Editor
I am encouraging each of my unique households to read the 2013 Family Quilt Newsletter on my site, sherleneonline.com. The current company theme is Honoring Married Couples Month. I believe that we all appreciate a real love story, and genuine love of married couples. It keeps me inspired. This month is also Black History Month.  I am amazed at some of my (alleged) personal discrimination situations that I have been reviewing. And it's only the fifth day of February! There is a lot of White (race) fear associated with America's cultural history. Unique households, how far have we really come culturally in our society if we are not willing to discuss our past? Whites must be willing to pay honestly for the work, and sacrifices of present-and-past Black slavery, or this country is truly going to suffer. Are we the citizens who, for years, have caused the disturbance in economic systems felt across the globe?

Let's talk FACEBOOK's LITTLE SECRETS

Did you know that there are 845 million of us using Facebook?

Crouch (2013, February) advises readers that there are several facts that you should know about your membership with Facebook.
I have summarized the top listings of interesting facts in the following comments:
  1. You can download a copy of your Facebook data by going to the Account Setting in the Home menu.
  2. You can change your privacy settings each time that you post or upload a pic.
  3. You are probably only seeing friends' posts that are considered the most liked, shared, or commented on.
  4. If you go to any web page that has a Facebook Like or Share button, your Facebook membership tracks your information even if you do not click onto such tabs.  Make certain you log out of Facebook before surfing the web.
  5. Facebook is a way for people to know where you are and when if you use the Public Post setting.
  6. Big news to Facebook is when you post major family announcements (e.g., engagements, etc.).
  7. Facebook constantly tracks our likes to share with companies. This helps to stock web shelves and store shelves of what we really use and want.
  8. Setting your news feeds to sort by Most Recent will allow you to see a broader listing of your friends' news feeds.
  9. Facebook places ads on our pages by company requests -by targeted locations, occupations, education levels.
