Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Cover pictures and profile photos are public so choose with careTo check how others see your profile (and what is shared publicly) click on the upside down triangle icon next to Activity Log at the top of the page.See http://mashable.com/2011/10/14/facebook-timeline-tips-tricks/ for tips on customizing your timeline & removing posts from viewYou graduating counts as a ‘Life Event’!To add a ‘subscribe’ button go to ‘Account Settings’ > ‘Subscriptions’ & click the check box to enable others to subscribe to your public posts‘The Beginner’s Guide to Facebook’ is from Mashable.com
  2. Build Your Professional Brand – from the LinkedIn Learning Centre10 Tips to a More Professional LinkedIn Profile – from Brian at hongkiat.com8 Creative Tips to Maximise Your LinkedIn Profile – from Neal Schaffer, WindmillNetworking.com
  3. More apps are available specifically for Business, Lawyers, Programmers, Sales & Tourism Professionals
  4. You can also upload video with a Pro-account – or, if you use video a lot, create & link to a YouTube public playlist for free.
  5. There are also other free blogging platforms such as http://www.blogger.com or https://www.tumblr.com/You can choose the ‘look’ of your blog through selecting a theme – many of these are free and can be customised. The ‘WordPress Ultimate Guide’ is from http://www.makeuseof.comWhen writing a blog post, keep sentences and paragraphs short & concise.
  6. You will probably be a bit cynical when you watch ‘Twitter in Plain English’ – I was! There’s much more to Twitter than just telling the world that you’re having coffee! See ‘Twitter Search in Plain English’ to see how useful it can be…It can also be amusing to follow conversations on Twitter while watching TV programmes like The Apprentice, or sport (I follow Formula1)!
  7. The eBook, ‘eGo: make the web work for you: using the web safely & confidently to promote yourself & your work’ follows on from the presentation and links to more in-depth information and tips around identity management, e-safety, information literacy and legal considerations such as copyright.
