Facebook.

videos.
35. What is tagging and how does it
work?
• When you tag someone, you create a link to
their Timeline. The post you tag the person in
may also be added to that person’s Timeline.
For example, you can tag a photo to show
who’s in the photo or post a status update and
say who you’re with. If you tag a friend in your
status update, anyone who sees that update
can click on your friend’s name and go to their
Timeline. Your status update may also show
up on that friend’s Timeline.

followed by their name.
• E.g. @Robin Low
• Facebook will give you a list of friends to pick
to tag on status.

• Facebook is big and growing, so rules and
updates and change is still occurring
• Nothing magical or hard about Facebook, just
a medium of communication
• Have an open mind, lots of thing to explore on
Facebook

can always ignore them
56. Other things to take note
• Facebook is there most of the time - 24/7

it may take time for them to respond.
