So, here’s a loaded question: What are your feelings about Facebook? What sorts of interactions do you use it for most commonly, and what would you like to be doing with it? Some people still opt to stay away from Facebook, but people from all age groups seem to be adopting this social platform as a major part of their personal and professional lives. Your Facebook face, meaning your profile picture, is to some of your acquaintances the first thing that comes into their mind when they think of you, especially if they don’t see often in person. Or your “Facebook face” in a broader sense could be the information about you that’s on Facebook, taken as a whole.

Once you get past the Facebook log in page and arrive at your homepage Facebook, what exactly do you see? If you look through your current news feed it’s likely to tell you a lot about what you’re doing online, and what sort of networks of people you’ve become connected to. Managing the integrity of your Facebook face can be a little tricky sometimes when you have doubts that your personal activities may be interfering with professional opportunities, especially as it’s become very common for prospective employers to check out your Facebook face to learn about you before they make a final call about whether or not you’re going to land your newest job.

Some people on Facebook sign on when they’re intoxicated, for instance, and that usually doesn’t end well! You don’t want to look at your wall and realize your newest post is something like “I hate Bookfac.” It’s possible for people to choose to cultivate either a “personal” or “professional” Facebook face, meaning (usually) that they’ll avoid making Facebook connections with their professional associates, sometimes even if those people are also personal friends.

Facebook is a fascinating entity, and entirely different from other social media outlets like Living Soical, which has become a popular way for serious bargain hunters to find deals on goods and especially on activities in their hometown.
