I’m writing this post from a veranda with a great view of the north-west Adriatic coast of Croatia, where I’m currently on vacation. This trip is different from our previous vacations in that we’re staying a full 5 weeks, so I needed to bring my laptop to stay in touch with my clients (after I finish this post I need to send an email newsletter for a UK-based client).

Although I did a pretty good job of making sure I have all my passwords with me, I was given a shock by Facebook when I tried logging in for the first time after we landed here. Although I entered my user ID and password Facebook recognised I was trying to log in from a different geographical location and, as a security measure, forced me to confirm my account. At first I thought, great, I like this, but then the trouble started: Facebook used a very unusual method of confirming my account – it asked me to give the names of seven of my Facebook friends! Although I only have a few hundred FB friends, I certainly can’t remember all of their names!

Facebook showed me pictures of no fewer than seven of my friends – but not their default profile photos, but random images from their photo albums, where my friends were sometimes pictured from the side, with other people, or in poor image conditions.

Somehow I managed to confirm my account after two tries, so now I am OK. The moral of this story for you: know thy Facebook friends if you’re planning on traveling abroad.

In the last year or so you must have heard of Facebook, or at least of the term “Social Networking.”

If you’ve also heard of MySpace, YouTube and other such places, most likely your opinion on these sites falls under the banner “for teenagers only.”

Well, although most users of Facebook do tend to be young adults, more and more people are using the Facebook network as a marketing channel for their business.

If you’d like to learn how to use Facebook for business, I highly recommend you sign up for Facebook for Business – Free Marketing Webinar. I’ve attended HubSpot-hosted webinars and they were always very good.

Are you active on Facebook? I certainly am. It’s an incredible platform for professional networking and strategic business building.

To get on the fast-track, I highly recommend Facebook expert, Mari Smith’s course, “Facebook for Professionals.” I’ve already learned a ton from her about how to properly use Facebook.
