Today's post is written specifically for those responsible for managing a Group on Facebook. Facebook Groups don't get as much buzz as Facebook Profiles (soon to be known as Timelines) and Facebook Pages. Still, there are many wonderful uses for Groups. I belong to many, including some business, community or family related. Serving as an Admin of a Facebook Group can be incredibly easy or a huge time commitment, depending on the size of the group and how closely the group's content is moderated.

If you're a Facebook user, you've probably noticed a lot of changes, especially on the homepage where you see updates from your Facebook friends. What you may not have noticed are the significant updates in how you manage your privacy, along with other new features and changes. Facebook is a wonderful tool for connecting with family and friends, as well as your favorite brands and businesses. In order to get the most out of your time on Facebook and to use it safely, it is critical that you understand how it works and how you can customize your settings in a way that is comfortable for you.

While it may seem that David Bowie is referring to Facebook when he sings, "Ch, ch, ch, ch, changes.." I'm pretty sure he had something else in mind. Still, the lyrics do include "Turn and face the strain," which may be how you're feeling each time you visit the site.
The good new is that you're not alone. I've been inundated with questions like, "How do I...?" and "Where do I find...?" The even better news is that you're now invited to join me online to answer some of your questions.
