Have you gone through your profile recently? If not then there is beautiful surprise for you this time. It is "See Your 2013 Year in Review" section that is introduced very recently. 

This latest update can be seen right below your profile picture in your timeline. According to Facebook, this feature highlights the top 30 moments and life events from users' Facebook friends.

 

 

So when you click on this feature,  Facebook will memorize the top 30 moments and life events that you have posted on your wall. For example, likes, photos, engagements, etc.

When you create a fan page in Facebook, there is a facility to set some roles for users accessing and posting in the page. These are called as "Admin Roles" in Facebook Pages. There are different roles assigned for managing the pages as needed. If you know how to add another "Admin" to your page, with a specific role then there is a fear of your fan page getting stolen by another person whom you have added in the admin role.  

A creator of the page has to be the "Manager" of the page as he is creating, posting, etc and accessing the whole page. If he wants to add anyone who can access the page for some other reason who is trustworthy then you can set him or her as any other role. 

When a hacker hacks your fan page, then instead of thinking "Why", take steps to find out a solution to "How".

First things first while recovering your stolen fan page is where to report this theft and how will it get resolved. 

Some important steps that will help are : 

Are there any "CopyCats" around you? Some people can create a fake profile of yours with some tricks. This may be hacking but this involves a process called "Cloning". 

When you have your personal account then how can anyone else take charge of your account by creating a fake one which is similar to yours!!!

Here the trick of creating "Facebook Cloning" is used.

In other terms, Facebook cloning is a type of stealing one's identity where dodgy characters make a second profile which is similar to the current one.

Later on they send the friend requests to all your friends from the cloned profile. It is nothing but they are fooling your friends by sending fake requests from the cloned profile.

The process then comes at a stage where they post comments or add images and chat with your friends with your identity. The cloned profile helps to do them all these stuff.

In such cases, when any other person who is not known to you and cloning your profile to use your contacts for communicating, it is theft and something must be done to avoid it.

Before making any steps for avoiding Facebook cloning, you should first know whether it is really been done or not and how they do it.

Know how Facebook cloning is done:

• First they send you a friend request
• Once you accept it then they start copying all your contacts and other information
• They save your profile pictures and profile and each small things that you have shared
• Then create a fake email id either in Gmail or Hotmail 
• Using this fake email then they register for a new Facebook account
• They use your exact profile pics and information and give it as exact look and feel of your profile 
• After all this they start copying all other information and pasting in the new cloned Facebook account
• Later they will like all the pages that you have liked in your profile. Sometimes they will copy the comments that you have made in your profile to that extent that the new profile should look the same
• Now the time has come to block you to see the new fake or cloned profile by just clicking on "Report / Block" option. Once this is done you will never come to know that a new fake or cloned id is prepared without your knowledge. 
• Now they will do as they want to do in the new cloned fake Facebook profile but "As You"

Admin roles can be changed in Facebook fan page or business page as the need arises. For example, if you are a creator of any fan page, then you are the primary "Manager" of the fan page. This fan page may be created for your clients or for your own personal thing. 

One who is creating any fan page for others, then after getting some likes for that page, the page needs to be handed over to the client. In that case, the admin roles changes for that page. 

There are different types of roles while managing admin roles. 

• Content creator
• Manager
• Advertiser
• Moderator
• Analyst

As a "Manager" of the fan page, you can set anyone as the above admin roles.

As the role changes, their accessibility also changes. The below image will specify what actually is accessible in Facebook fan page according to your admin roles.


A manager is the main person of fan page. He has all the accessibility for doing things in Facebook. Like he can manage admin roles (which is only for him) , edit , create posts , create ads and view insights. Whereas other roles will not have all of these roles.

Their accessibility changes as set by the manager of the fan page.

If there is a need to change the admin roles or set any person as a manager or moderator or any other role, then follow the steps:

• In the Facebook fan page, click "Edit Page" 
  
• Now click "Manage Admin roles" option
• Type the name in the text field to add a person 
• Then click the down arrow to select the role of that person 
  

Now what role you have designated to the person added will have only permission to that role and cannot have all the options that a "Manager" has.

Think carefully before setting an admin role.
