Facebook can be used for work purposes such as promoting organizations, programs, and events. It allows users to create pages to share information and build communities around shared interests. Extension programs and offices have created Facebook pages and groups to connect with clients. Examples include cooperative extension pages, 4-H pages at the local and national level, and pages for programming efforts like healthy eating initiatives.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Facebook is for networking with your friends. Ask yourself: Are you friends with your coworkers? Are you friends with your clients? Are you the same person at work as you are away from work? If you answered 'yes' to all three of these questions, then you are in good shape for using Facebook for work. If you answered "no" to any of these, then you might want to consider having two separate Facebook accounts - one for work and one for personal. There are ways to restrict what certain groups of your friends. See: http://mashable.com/2009/08/14/facebook-networking/ IMHO , if you have a different set of values at work than you do outside of work, then you might need to find a different place to work in order to be happy.
- #3 A little Facebook history Launched in 2004 Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website's membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 250 million active users worldwide. - Wikipedia Do you want to share? Do you want to be Connected or Discovered?
- #4 Imagine if you had a way to keep up with your friends you met at summer camp as a kid. Or at your parent's professional association meeting? "NACAA Sons & Daughters" was created by one of the sons. their tag line is "We see/saw each other for one week in the summer almost every year." http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21148773028 Isn't that cool?!?! Prior to online social networking anthropologist theorized that the number of social relationships you can maintain is about 150 ( Dunbar's number ). I think that with online social networking tools, that number has gone out the window. The time/effort to 'maintain' a relationship is much smaller now that you can talk to and listen to many at one time. With social networking tools it is much easier to maintain relationships. Common social networking tools are: Facebook, MySpace, Ning, Twitter and many others
- #5 Wall: Post your thoughts, links, questions, status, etc. Photos: Share pictures of whatever you would want to share with your friends. "Tag" people in it so they can be found easily. Groups: Create and/or join groups with similar interests. Keep up with what they are doing, communicate with them, share pictures, and more. Events: Create events and invite others. Includes RSVP features. Posted Items: Share links, quotes, your status, notes, write a book (ok, a short one), results of quizes, play games and much, much more.
- #6 Facebook statistics: http://www.facebook.com/facebook?ref=pf#/press/info.php?statistics Social networking was a major factor in the 2008 US elections. The Democrats used it much more effectively than the Republicans and it showed at the polls. So much so that the Republican party has encouraged it's members to get on board and be ready for 2010. That's just one reason my parents (dad turns 70 this year) have started using Facebook. I've had friends who told me their class reunions (25 and 30) were planned and promoted via Facebook.
