In order to receive the true benefits of this article please refer to Flock to Flock and Social Media Stream on Flock. This is the third in a series. This portion of this tutorial is speaking about the button called accounts and services, and people.

 You can locate the blue button representing the accounts and services at the top of the browser and it is shaped as a key. Click on that icon, and what should pop up is a section on the left hand side of the browser.

It will consist of a list of social media sites you are a part of and member of. When you add your account information in, the browser will ask you if you want the browser to remember your information. I suggest yes, this makes it so easy to open the browser and you are already logged and ready to use your social media immediately. You can click on the sites to lead you to the page of the social media outlet from that section as well. Please view photograph below. Notice key symbol is circled.

The next icon to familiarize yourself with would be the picture of the little man in blue. That icon would be the button for people. Click on this button and you will have your list of friends on Digg, Facebook and Twitter. In the picture and tutorial, I am using Facebook as the example on the left side of the browser.

When you are using this wonderful feature of people with Facebook, it is such a great experience. As you can see from the buttons in the photograph you can actually add a link right to your page on Facebook. So if you are visiting a page just click on add a link under your photograph of your Facebook account. When you click the upload button, another screen appears to upload your pictures directly to Facebook from that button. You would be dragging photographs from your computer to use this feature. The my media button under your picture simply gives you a view of your pictures which rest at the top of the page like it does with the social media stream. Please view photograph below of uploading picture option.

You will also see your most recent status on their pages. You can click media under their picture and see the photographs they have.  Then of course they have an action button which you can choose the Facebook features such as poke, wall post, send a gift, share a link or comment on their status. You can also share flock with them this way as well. You can see these features on the screen picture below, as I give my friends Mark and Cindy their five minutes of fame. Notice in the picture at the top I circled the little picture of the head and shoulders.

I strongly suggest using these features of Flock to ensure more power of the experience of using it for social media.
