In this video Jeremy gives Jamie a rundown on what Facebook is all about. He explains that, while MySpace is an open network by default — in which almost anyone can see your page — Facebook by comparison is a closed network by default — which of course offers more privacy. People can’t see you or be a part of your world unless you invite them to. Facebook also offers real-time status updates, whereas MySpace does not.
Like many of the earlier videos, this one is a basic step-by-step process to making a Facebook account. Jamie inputs her details and voila! Facebook account done! As I’ve had a Facebook account for some time I didn’t need to go through this process at all.
While Jeremy did mention that he will show us exactly how to leverage Facebook to make money, he also talked a bit about some of the cool things that Facebook was useful for — such as connecting with old school chums, friends and family (Jamie was a little excited when she saw some of her school buddies). Thankfully he didn’t mention all the annoying applications that prevail on Facebook! I mean some are good, but most just want to suck your precious time away (though it’s not quite in the YouTube league!)
Once again it was a simple, yet effective, tutorial and fine for those who are just starting out. No secrets or tips and tricks, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
Until tomorrow…
