What My Grandmother Taught Me About Facebook

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

There are two times during the year I can expect or should I say predict with absolute certainty that my grandmother will be calling me - spring and fall! Why?

Because, you see… my grandmother owns a DVD player and every spring it needs to have its time set 1 hour forward (Daylight Savings Time) and in the fall it needs to be set back 1-hour.  Although she has the instructions and had me write out a step-by-step process on how to do it, she would prefer I come over and do it for her.

How does this have anything to do with Facebook? Simple. Technology is advancing faster than people can keep up. This many bits, that many bytes…rss this and feedburner that! It’s technology over load!

Again… you are probably wondering what on earth does this have to do with Facebook. Well, I learned a valuable lesson from my grandmother and the countless times setting her DVD player’s clock.  There is an absolute need for someone to teach someone how to do things.

Facebook, although it is simple to navigate and fairly simple in its layout it is still confusing to the not-so-savvy internet user, say….like….my grandma or my uncle (although my uncle rick did finally get on the Facebook bandwagon! woohoo!).

I have decided to create a new blog which will be launched next week on September 25th - it will be full of Facebook tutorial videos! If you’re anything like myself, I hate reading — give me visuals baby!

The videos will start off from the very basics, such as “how to set-up a facebook account”… to not so basic as importing an RSS feed into my notes or installing new applications. My goal is to help everyone of every level learn about Facebook and use it to grow, network, and share.

If you are interested in being the first to know of the new blog’s web address and get some cool free stuff in the process simply add me as a friend by clicking the “about” link on top o this blog and I’ll keep you informed!

You’re going to love it!
