Common Facebook Terminology

If you're new to Facebook, you'll run into some unfamiliar terminology. Here are some common Facebook terms and their definitions; get to know them so you can get the most out of Facebook:



  • Your Timeline is your page. It contains all your stories, your photos and videos, a list of your friends, your favorite activities and interests, and what used to be called your Wall. This is where your friends can leave you messages, and you can update the world with anything you feel like sharing.



  • The News Feed is a continuous stream of updates about your friends’ activities on and off Facebook. It appears on your Home page.



  • A Friend is someone you are connected to on Facebook. Friending is the act of sending someone a friend request; all friendships have to be confirmed by both people in order for it to be official on Facebook.



  • A Poke is a casual gesture that means, “I’m thinking of you.” The person you Poke receives the Poke on her Home page when she logs in and has the choice to Poke you back. Only she (and not her friends) is aware that you Poked her.
