CHAPTER 24: Social Networking

Using Facebook for BlackBerry
Now that Facebook is a full stand-alone
app for BlackBerry, you can do pretty
much everything for Facebook account
right on your BlackBerry.
Once Facebook is downloaded and
installed, the first thing you will see is the
login screen. Type your account
information, that is, your email address
and password.
Account Integration
The next screens help you set up your
Facebook account on your BlackBerry. You
can integrate your Facebook friends with
your BlackBerry contacts, as well as
integrate any Facebook calendar events
with your BlackBerry calendar. Just check
the boxes for actions you wish to take.
You can also have every Facebook
message sent to you, and any status
update, Poke, or other action by your
friends can show up as a Facebook
message in your BlackBerry Message
application.
Status Update and News Feed
Once you log on to Facebook for
BlackBerry, you will have the option to write
''What's on your mind'' and see your News
Feed from your friends.
