Facebook continues to grow at a breakneck pace of approximately 600,000 new users per day along with more than 140 million active users of the service.  With so many features built into the service and many additional features that can be added on to extend Facebook, it is only appropriate to put together a list of the 17 ways to interact on Facebook.

9 Ways to Use Facebook to Connect and Interact

1. Use the “Notes” feature to pull in your blog feed.  Once set up, it will ping your blog platform and post any new posts as a new note in Facebook.
2. Share interesting links using the “Share Link” feature.
3. Change your notification settings to be notified when someone you know has a birthday coming up.  Then make sure you tell them “Happy Birthday!”  It’s a nice surprise, especially if it’s someone who you don’t keep in touch with that often.
4. Join Groups that you care about and then actually interact in them.  A lot of people join groups but then don’t use them.  These are a great area to network with people who share similar interests as you especially around specific topics.
5. Upload photos (2, 30, 150, 2,000 or whatever).  It’s a great way to connect with people on a more personal level.  Of course, only upload photos that you’re comfortable with sharing.  If you have photos with other friends that are on Facebook, tag them in the photos.
6. If you own a company or are responsible for marketing/PR/social media, set up a Fan Page and use it.  Upload photos, videos, send updates to your fans and all of the other great features.  You can even use the fan page to build and publish an ad on Facebook.
7. Record a video directly into Facebook or upload a couple.  Pictures are a great way to connect but videos are another great way to interact too.
8. Comment on links, photos, videos and statuses that others post.  Posting on walls is great but try using the “Comment” feature.
9. Add in other social applications such as Delicious, StumbleUpon, Pandora, Google Reader, etc.  These will post links to your feed when you use those services.

These are just a few of the many, many ways to use Facebook to interact and connect more with your friends.  What are some of the other ways that you use Facebook to be more social?
