Hey guys, welcome to the iPhone App Show I am LaneVid, LaneVids.com. Make sure to check out that web site, also subscribe.
Today, we’re going to take a look at an application that can really help your social networking if you’re on Facebook. It is of course the Facebook application for the iPhone. Fantastic applications written well I really like what they’ve done with it.
First of all, it opens you up to your home screen. It gives you your news feed. If you have any notifications, they’ll let you know right in this area to make you track of it by day for you and if you have any friend request, your friend request will be here and you can accept your friend request directly from your phone. You’ll notice also that there is underneath news feed there’s top stories, status updates, photos, links, life feeds, notes and gifts and there is more if you have other applications. And you can simply tap those to get more current life feeds, links, photos, whatever you’re looking for.
Now, you’ll also notice that there is five other buttons at the bottom there. We’re going to go ahead and hit the second one here. Yes, I’m on Facebook. This is my profile and that’s what the second button does here. It brings you to your profile. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want to. From here, you can read updates on your wall, you can update your wall, you can get your info if you want to get some info on someone, or check your info for yourself. And photos, you can open up all your photo albums through the application.
Now, the third button here is your friends. Click that and it’s actually going to open you up to this page here which is a list of all your friends. And if you want to go to one of your friend’s profiles, just simply click it. It will bring it out for you and you can see what there latest is. You can also get their info and photos right there on the page.
The fourth thing is the chat which again it’s going to bring up your friends who are available for chatting. You can simply click on whoever you want to chat with and it’s going to bring up what seems to look like a text message and you just can type in whatever you want to say. And then from there, it’s ended or can also go to their profile if you want to see what is new going on in their profile from the chat.
The last thing we have on the bottom here is our Inbox where you get all your messages. You can see what’s new in your Inbox. You can see what you’ve sent and you can see updates. The updates are for any of the pages that you follow which I do have a page on Facebook. It’s the LaneVids page just open the search, simply type in LaneVids and you’ll find the page.
You can also compose a new message on Facebook using your friend contact. You simply select who you want to send something to, type of your message and send it away. I'm going to go ahead and hit Cancel because we’re not going to send anything anywhere.
Now, one thing that I really like about the application is that I can go into My Profile and go on over to my wall, see if there’s any new thing on the wall, so you can get your comments from other people on what they have said on your wall. You can also log out from Facebook if you want to do that too. I’m not really going to log out. I just want to show it to you guys.
Another thing you can do so if you want to comment on some of your friends statuses, you can go back to your friends, pull up their profile and then exchange comments. So all in all, the Facebook application that they’ve created for the iPhone is very easy to use, very interactive. I definitely recommend if you have a Facebook and you have an iPhone, get the application, it’s probably one of the better applications out there.
There are couple of others thing you can do, go back to your home screen and then at the top left there is a little person’s silhouette. You can click that and that’s where you can update your status, doing episode of iPhone App Show and hit post. And from my phone, I have just updated my Facebook status, it’s that easy.
On the other side, if you want to add a picture into your collection, you can hit the camera button and then we can either take a photo or we can choose an existing photo. I'm going to hit choose an existing photo. It’s going to bring up my camera roll. I’ll go ahead and open that, the 'iPhone App Show, click it. You can type a name or you can tag it. I’m not going to do anything there. You can write a caption on the bottom, ‘The iPhone App Show’, hit Done and hit Upload. And it really is easy as that to send your pictures directly from your phone to your Facebook account.
Like I said, simple application, easy to use, lots of features. You get pretty much all of the features out of Facebook that you would get on the computer on your phone here. I definitely recommend it. It’s ones of the best ones that’s written out there, very easy to use, and interactive.
If you want to follow me on Facebook, there’s going to be a link in the sidebar, check it out. Feel free to friend me up. I’m also going to put the link to my pages account which is my LaneVid pages. If you want to become a fan, go for it too, friend me up over there and become a fan. Hopefully, I’ll see you using your iPhone application soon, goodbye.
