When I log into Facebook, the first thing I would do is to check on my notifications. Then I would check my wall to see if any of my friends posted anything there. Sometimes you have to accept requests from your wall which I think is very time consuming considering you already have a gift request page. After that,I would go to my gift request page to accept gifts requests from my friends. What about you? What is the first thing you do when you log into Facebook?

I just recently opened a facebook account and have not yet figured out what it is all about and what to do with it. So, I'll be reading this discussion with interest to see what I can do with facebook. Thanks for the discussion.

You're welcome, 1hopefulman. There are many things you can do on Facebook. You can connect with friends there, some even found their long lost friends there. Most people enjoy playing games on Facebook. Oh, and you can also create a group and promote your business there. :)

Well, for me one of the first things I do when I log into facebook each time is to check and see if I have any private messages, then check to see if their is anything special needing attention on my Wall, and then I will usually check out some of the games I regularly play to update them, and then it depends what my mood is to what I do in there if anything after that.

I don't play games it is silly for me.
Because you can play the same games on the original sites of the games online and you can earn money when you win more levels.Facebook games doesn't give you this option.
I check my emails my notifications friends requests.
I invite people I know or will know in future.
I promote my work or my articles with "share"
And I check my fan pages statistics.
If you have a fanpage you have to keep the fan's interest by post new material every 2 or 3 times a week.
Facebook it is avery useful tool.

Yea, I think it's a wise choice to play games on the original sites since you get to earn money from there. But some of us have already reached such high levels in some of the games and it's really a waste to just quit them. It's nice to know that you are making full use of Facebook to promote your articles. I agree Facebook is a very useful tool.

Hi, jlyn10 I am there very rarely, but sometimes check how my old friends are doing. It is a good way to keep up with those who have moved away as they don´t come back here too often. I also see the flow of news and see what my friends have written lately.
I have no time or interest for the games, so I don´t answer the invitations but I think it is possible to choose to not get any invitations.
Lately I have used the possibility in Triond to send a link with some article I like. I sometimes add my own comment in a language I like to use so that others who don´t understand the link completely can see what the article is about.
They have also a possibility to send private messages, and that can be practical sometimes.
We can also check the sites of other people and see what they are putting there and see what we can do..

When on Facebook, I kind of feel that my friends are just close by when in actual fact they are all living on the other side of the world. Yes, it is possible to block the games requests but I don't do that. Facebook is also a good tool for promoting your business whereby you can create a group and invite your friends.

Hi. Jlyn10. I will check my messages to see if anyone has sent me a message/note. I then will check my home page. Next, I will check my wall to see how many friends accepted my friend request. I also look at the status on some of the comments that I have made and if someone responded back to those same comments.

Just like you, I often check my notifications first and if I don't have any,I look at the news feed just to update myself on what's going on with my friends or people in my network. I usually follow certain people in my network as well and check out those who are celebrating their birthdays on that day.It's my habit to always greet to these people just to stay connected and sometimes would often comment on their status or photos.

When I log into facebook, first I check my notifications and friend request. Then I check on my feeds, read their status or posts and if I'm interested I post comments. Then I visit my Restaurant City accepting gifts and sending back gifts,then open my cityville. Lastly I check who are online on my list and chat someone.

The first thing i do is check the message box if i have new messages then i go to my wall and see if there are important posts that i missed. After that check for online friends if i'm not busy otherwise i log out. Before i used to open my facebook account everyday just to play but then i don't have time now to play games.

There was a time that i was hooked on facebook and the first thing i would check were the games that i played. Afterwards i check my messages and friends request.Scroll down the page and see what my friends are up to. But thank God i am over my facebook. I just log in once in a while nowadays just to check.

What i do first in facebook is check the notifications there. after that,I look to the public wall to see whats happening on my friends. Facebook really helps a lot for people to get in touch even if they're miles apart. Thanks to the facebook team.

Yeah, I do the same, I usually check the notification hfirst if I get anything. I am not very active on Facebook so I don't get wall message or comments all the time. Every once in a while, I get some wall post or comments on the pictures tha tI post.

I don't go into facebook a lot, but I would rather check if any of my friend left any message for me there. If they did, I would simply respond to them. I won't spend that much time in facebook though.

I've had enough of facebook. lol...don't get me wrong, I've been addicted to it several years ago. My friends would sometimes tease me that I could probably apply for a job in facebook as a 24-hour watchman.
After this episode has passed, thank goodness, I just log in maybe once a day to play Mafia Wars. I don't even bother to check anything. But if I have a message from one of my friends, then that's usually where I go so I can read and reply, usually before doing anything else.

I check my mailbox and notifications. Then I got through the list of request and delete them. I get on daily but only for a few minutes.
