16. • Keeping Personal and Public Facebook
Content Separate
One of the top concerns you might have about mixing
your marketing messages with your personal profile is
keeping your personal things personal.
• Suggest your page to Friends
If you have lots of friends on Facebook but not lots of
fans on your business page,
you can suggest your business page to them.
• Segment Friend lists for Targeted messaging
When it comes to posting updates on your Facebook
business page, you can either send your update
publicly or target it to people in a specific location.
17. Widening exposure of member information 2011:
In 2010, the Electronic Frontier Foundation identified
two personal information aggregation techniques
called ”connections” and ”instant personalization”.
They demonstrated that anyone could get access to
information saved to a Facebook profile, even if the
information was not intended to be made public.
A ”connection” is created when a user clicks a “Bike”
button for a product or service, either on Facebook
itself or an external site. Facebook treats such
relationships as public information, and
the user’s identity may be displayed on the Facebook
page of the product or service.
18. News Feed and Mini-Feed
On September 5, 2006, Facebook introduced
two new features called “News Feed” and “Mini-
Feed”. The first of the new features, News Feed,
appears on every Facebook member’s home page,
displaying recent Facebook activities of the
member’s friends. The second feature, Mini-Feed,
keeps a log of similar events on each member’s
profile page. Members can manually delete items
from their Mini-Feeds if they wish to do so, and
through privacy settings can control what is
actually published in their respective Mini-Feeds.
19. The following can be some possible
solutions :
• Develop user-centric privacy control to
give customers control.
• Avoid multiple intrusions.
• Prevent human intrusion by using
automation wherever possible.
• Let your consumers know you value their
privacy and publicize what you are doing to
keep their information secure.
20. • Let consumers know when their
information is being disclosed. If you
plan to use their information later on,
tell them at the time of asking for the
information.
• Tell them why you’re asking for their
information# and be honest.

brand. It provides the best Marketing platform for
companies of all types. In 2010, facebook surpassed
google as the top website in the world. Fcebook has
become an important part of consumers’ everyday
lives and therefore a critical component in personal
marketing strategies.
