How can you share your message more effectively using the power of Facebook? Facebook has a number of applications you can use to post just about anything you want. You can add links, send messages, join causes, and all sorts of things through their built in system. What about all those things that aren't included in Facebook applications? Are there any? What if you don't have time to search and track down the perfect application for what you want to express or share? Facebook Notes is a wonderful alternative.

*How to Use Facebook Notes: Have you ever received an email that had the perfect message to put on Facebook? You wouldn't want to post a link to it revealing your private information, but you really want to share it. Enter Facebook Notes. These handy little word documents allow you to copy and paste your email message directly into your Facebook profile.

They are located right there in your applications section. All you need to do is open the program, click on write a new note, and copy and paste the contents of your email into it. Then you have a couple of options. You can tag people so that your note can be displayed on their walls, and you can post it to your wall too. In this way, the people you select via tag share the note with their friends, who in turn continue passing it around. As if that were not enough, you now have displayed your note for all your friends to see. If they want, they can copy the contents of your note, paste it in their own note, and pass it around too.

*Sharing Powerful Information through Facebook Notes: Lots of information can be shared on a Facebook Note. That means you can enlist the help of your friends and neighbors to support the military. It means you have the power to expose injustices, and unite with others on timely issues. If there's a big vote coming up, and propaganda is swaying things against your personal beliefs, you have the power to energize your side of the issue. Through the communication of Facebook Notes, you can mobilize entire groups of people all across the globe to speak out and make their voices heard.

Oh sure, you can also use Facebook Notes to send warm fuzzies and get to know people a little better. That's all in good fun and well worth the efforts you expend on it. However, if all you do on Facebook is play, you'd be right in saying the time you spend on Facebook could be better spent on other things. But when you use the power of Facebook Notes to make a positive difference in the world, then you can rest assured that Facebook is an invaluable resource for you, well worth the time it takes to share your message with the world.
