My Facebook Life

I started using facebook back in 2009. I was only using it to find friends and put the odd photo up. I have since discovered many uses in facebook. I have found it a great resource as I live in a very remote part of Victoria and with fuel prices etc it has made making contact and keeping up with what is happening so much easier for me.
1. When neighbours are away and want their farm looked after I can take photos, put them into an album that I create for them and they will get a notification if I place a photo into it. I can also tag these photos so they get immediate notice. These of course can be kept just between myself and person/s intended. I have a couple of these private ones.
2. I manage some groups too:
a:/ the Benambra Neighbourhood House's group page, an open one to public. In this I can put links of interest up, advertise classes and outings and it is there for general comment from the public.
b:/ the Wild Dog forum group page. This is for general comment from the whole of the public. People can place photo's, links etc for discussion.
c:/ the Benambra Click Clack Club group page. This one is a closed secret group that only invited members can come into. This is where the Benambra Neighbourhood House's camera club discuss and put up photos. I am constantly putting up links of interest and advertising up and coming events. I also let our members know when and where we are having an outing and photo shoot. They are able to place their photos here for comment by the members only thus creating that nice private, safe and cozy place that we all need. As so many of us within the group all work at different times it makes it an easy way for contact as we just open it up when we have free time.
d:/ I also have a another high school secret group page too. This is great for us to keep in contact and what is happening all over the world.
e:/ I help manage a couple of others too.
Being a member of 16 groups keeps me up with what is happening:-
E-learning - this has opened up my life again and this blog. Here we join together in online sessions learning many new web 2.0 tools. These sessions are all managed via facebook. Links are posted for us to join into these classes.
So many great ideas for facebook and you can chose your own way of using it.
Please always be carefull and mindfull of the privacy and the privacy of others when in any social media program.

This is a screen grab of one of my facebook pages so some of the groups I am in and manage.
