Beginning to tweet
Everyone knows about Facebook and Twitter these days, and many people use them, all over the world. Facebook has been especially famous in the news, and not for positive reasons. If you haven’t heard about it, look for The Facebook Papers on Google or Bing. It was quite an eye-opening investigation into Facebook’s internal affairs.
In this chapter, I’m not going to debate about what’s wrong with Facebook or Twitter. Instead, I’ll show you the basics about using these social networks. My objective is to help you create a Facebook account, improve your privacy settings, and understand the basics about how it works. The same with Twitter.
Without further ado, let’s get started. I’ll cover Facebook first, and then Twitter.
