Editor's Notes
- #7 Groups Privacy: In addition to an open setting, more privacy settings are available for groups. In secret and closed groups, posts are only visible to group members. Audience: Group members must be approved or added by other members. When a group reaches a certain size, some features are limited. The most useful groups tend to be the ones you create with small groups of people you know. Communication: In groups, members receive notifications by default when any member posts in the group. Group members can participate in chats, upload photos to shared albums, collaborate on group docs and invite members who are their friends to group events.
- #11 Pages allow real organizations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly with people who like them. Pages may only be created and managed by official representatives. Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared interests. Groups can be created by anyone. Pages Privacy: Page information and posts are public and generally available to everyone on Facebook. Audience: Anyone can like a Page to become connected with it and get news feed updates. There is no limit to how many people can like a Page. Communication: Page admins can share posts under the Page’s name. Page posts appear in the news feeds of people who like the Page and their friends.

The wall photo was copied from the Marriott’s website and I created the little logo from the posting on the front of CMA Alliance’s website. A complete description of your organization can be added in the “About” section. The Wall is the place where your updates and posts are displayed. You can show posts from “Everyone” with the most interesting posts first, or posts from your Page in reverse chronological order. This is the space where all posts from admins and fans can appear. Click “Edit Page” and go to the “Manage Permissions” section to adjust who can post on your Wall and moderation filters. .
- #34 The Like button is how users connect to your Page. When a person clicks the Like Button, a News Feed story is shared with his/her friends (e.g. “Robin likes Your Page”). These are your navigation links and applications. The pre-populated links may vary depending on your Page Category. Click “Edit” to move and delete links. This is the Photostrip. The most recent photos that you tag your Page in or post to your Wall will appear here. To hide a photo, roll over it and click the X in the top right corner.

Organic reach is the number of unique people, fans or non-fans, who saw any content about your Page in their news feeds, ticker or on your Page. Paid reach is the number of unique people who saw an ad or Sponsored Story that pointed to your Page. Viral reach is the number of unique people who saw this post from a story published by a friend.
