What are
Web Standards?
Egypt Facebook's pages are designed for
modern web browsers that support web standards, as promoted by the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C). Browsers that follow these standards render pages
consistently, offering uniform display of HTML and secure web-based
transactions. Egypt Facebook applies a variety of techniques to design
pages that are standards-compliant, and reliance on browser-specific
workarounds is kept at a minimum. By designing for a standard, rather than
specific web browsers, Egypt Facebook can offer the best experience for
all users, no matter how they view Egypt Facebook. Most browsers are available in newer versions that support web standards.

Can I still
use Egypt Facebook if I haven't registered?
You can read content on Egypt Facebook and
post certain types of content if you choose not to become a member. However, we
believe that the content on Egypt Facebook is most useful when it is
clear who created it and so you must be a member in order to post
recommendations, requests, and within Egypt Facebook discussions.
My Profile
What is a Egypt Facebook member profile?
A Egypt
Facebook member profile is a free, customizable profile page, where you share
information about yourself. Think of it as your online identity page, where you
can describe yourself in words and pictures. You can add many types of content
to your profile quickly and easily, from simple photos and text to Amazon wishlists, your blog posts, favorite links, and more. You
can also customize the layout and style of your page to fit your personality
and promote the information that your friends and audience should see first.
What can
I share on my member profile?
To start with, your member profile will display
your picture and your user bio. It will also automatically display your
friends, Egypt Facebook groups you join, testimonials friends write for
you, and recent activity like discussion posts and listings. If you like, you
can add more content modules to your profile - there are modules for adding
pictures, and your listings, events, recommendations and other content on Egypt
Facebook.
Can I
customize my member profile?
Yes! You can customize your profile in two ways:
you can edit the layout of the modules on your page, so you can place the most
important content near the top of the page.

have a Egypt Facebook user profile?

your bio, your friends, and other information you choose to display.
What am I
not allowed to share on my profile?
Member profiles, like all other pages on Egypt
Facebook, are subject to the Egypt Facebook Terms of Use. Please
keep Egypt Facebook a friendly environment for all people, by refraining
from posting pictures, text, and other content that others may find offensive.
Listings
Listings are an easy way to call on your friends
and their friends to find what you need. Whether you're looking for a used car,
a romantic restaurant, or a new job, you can publish and read classified
Listings created by Egypt Facebook members in your backyard, or around
the world.

create a Listing?

button that appears at the top of any page on our service.
On the next page, select the type of listing you
wish to create:

café, etc.
• Service Recommendation: refer others to a good
dentist, a reliable plumber...
• Miscellaneous Recommendation: review a Web
site, a new album, the latest gadget...

region/city/neighborhood about volunteering, local announcements, or just to
sound off.
• For Sale: cars, furniture, garage sales ...

positions, seeking employment...
Where
will my listing appear?
If you promoted your listing to a Egypt Facebook, it will appear on that Egypt Facebook's main
page until it expires, or until other new listings move yours off of the main
page. If your listing is pushed off a Egypt Facebook's main
page, it will still be visible to members of that Egypt Facebook if they
click the "view all" link in the listings area. Your listing will
also appear on the My Egypt Facebook pages of other members, depending
on their relationship to you and their geographical location.

• Identical or substantially identical Listings posted
in multiple categories
• Listings posted with excessive frequency
• Keyword spamming -unrelated words in Listings
intended to skew search results
