Читать книгу Facebook For Dummies - Carolyn Abram - Страница 98

There isn’t a simple answer to the question of what you should or shouldn’t post as a status update. The question “What’s on your mind?” is meant to provoke whatever it is you’d like to share.

In general, sharing where you are or what you’re doing makes sense as a status update. When Carolyn sees updates from her friends, they're often a random thought that passed through their heads as they were out and about during the day. If a football game is on, she can often figure out what’s happening based on her friends’ status updates. Check out your own friends’ posts to see what they're talking about.

You might share something notable you saw recently or tell a quick and funny story (or a longer one, as there isn’t a word limit on status updates) about your day. Originally, status updates all started with the words “<Your Name> is…” and for the most part status updates tend to be about what you’re doing or thinking right now.

All the examples captured in the figures in this chapter are the sorts of posts we see regularly on Facebook. If you’re feeling uninspired, feel free to post that you're reading Facebook For Dummies.
