IHCPL 2009 Facebook Module

I have had a Facebook account for about a year's time, but I still found this module to be very helpful. I learned a great deal about the available privacy settings. One thing that has frustrated me for some time is when my profile shows up in Google searches. By following the instructions in Nick O'Neill's article: 10 Privacy Settings every Facebook User Should Know, I believe I have corrected this. Because of privacy concerns, I have posted very few photos to Facebook but I do have about 5 on my profile.

I have had fun with the different applications on Facebook. I have used Little Green Patch and The Biggest Brain. My current favorite is Mousehunt. I also enjoy posting news articles and videos for songs that I enjoy on my profile. I have used both the search box and the 'people you might know" tool to add friends.

Edit: I realize after I posted this that I had forgotten to mention that I regularly use my mobile/smart phone to post things to Facebook and to follow what's happening with my friends.
