If you offer a professional service under your name, you can use your Facebook profile for both business and personal use. For example, perhaps you are an attorney and want a way to communicate with friends and clients.
Facebook offers a list feature that allows you to place people in categories. You can then send updates to a specific list that only can be viewed by those designated.
No matter what your profession, this is a great way to separate personal friends from professional associates.
If you’d like to create a similar list on your personal Facebook profile, here’s how to get started.
1. Go to Home page and click “Friends” in left sidebar.
2. Select “Edit Friends” and then “Create A List,” which will appear at the top of center section.
3. Name your list and add friends.
Tip: As you accept or invite new friends, immediately add them to an established or new list.
Here’s how to send a unique message to a specific list:
1. Write your status update and click the padlock icon.
2. Select “customize.”
3. Choose, “Make this visible to,” and then, “Specific People.”
4. Type in the name of the list you want the message to go to.
5. Click, “Save Setting” and then share your update.
Tip: If you mouse over the padlock, you’ll see the name of the list or person the message will be sent to. This update will also appear on your Wall but is only visible to you and the individuals receiving the update.
To see the News Feed from a specific list you created do the following:
1. On your News Feed page, click the down arrow next to “Most Recent.”
2. Select the group you want to see and their updates will appear.
Subscribe to our updates.
Thanx for the tip, I’m going to try right away. I’ve been on facebook for quite sometime but I’ve never realised so from the numerous features available.
