send virtual gifts to their friends that appear on the recipient's
profile. Gifts cost $1.00 each to purchase, and a personalized
message can be attached to each gift.
Marketplace lets users post free classified ads. Listings posted by a
user on Marketplace are seen only by users in the same network as
that user.
29. Tags
A tag is a link to your profile. For example, if you are tagged in a post (such as
a photo or a status update), that post will contain a link to your profile.
You can choose whether a post you've been tagged in appears on your profile.
If you approve a post and later change your mind, you can always remove it
from your profile.
If you do not want someone to tag you in their posts, we encourage you to
reach out to them and give them that feedback. If that does not work, you can
block them. This will prevent them from tagging you going forward.
30. Pages
Facebook Pages are public pages.
Companies use Pages to share information about their products.
Celebrities use Pages to talk about their latest projects.
Communities use pages to discuss topics of interest, everything from baseball to the
opera.
Because Pages are public, information you share with a Page is public information. This
means, for example, that if you post a comment on a Page, that comment can be used by
the Page owner off of Facebook, and anyone can see it.
When you "like" a Page, you create a connection to that Page to your profile and your
friends may see it in their News Feeds. You may also receive updates from the Page in
your News Feed and your messages.
31. Subscribe
Facebook Subscribe

the people most often broadcasting their ideas
32. Sponsored Stories
Facebook allows people to "sponsor" your stories to make sure your friends see
them.
For example, if you RSVP to an event hosted by a local restaurant, that
restaurant may want to make sure your friends see it so they can come too. If
they do sponsor a story, that story will appear in the same place ads usually do
under the heading "Sponsored Stories" or something similar. Only people that
could originally see the story can see the sponsored story, and no personal
information about you (or your friends) is shared with the sponsor.
33. Memorializing Accounts
Facebook may memorialize the account of a deceased person. When we
memorialize an account Facebook keeps the profile on Facebook, but only let
friends and family look at pictures or write on the user's Wall in remembrance. You
can report a deceased person's profile at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=deceased
Facebook also may close an account if we receive a formal request from the
person's next of kin.
34. Deactivate
Deactivating your account puts your account on hold. Other users will
no longer see your profile, but we do not delete any of your
information. Deactivating an account is the same as you telling not to
delete any information because you might want to reactivate your
account at some point in the future. You can deactivate your account
at: https://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php
35. Delete
When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from
Facebook. It typically takes about one month to delete an account,
but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up
to 90 days. You should only delete your account if you are sure you
never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account at:

36. Ideology of Facebook
Social Design
Social Design defines how we understand ourselves and each other and can be
broken down into three core elements: Identity, Conversation and Community.
Community refers to the people we know and trust and who help us make
decisions.
Conversation refers to the various interactions we have with our communities.
Identity refers to our own sense of self and how we are seen by our communities.
