I use a SourceWriter style source using the Message broads/forum template. Name Facebook Name of Forum Facebook Type of Forum Social Network URL www.Facebook.com
Using that template the details for each citation include: Author Last Name Author Given names Author Suffix Title: If it is a status update I use the intro to the post for data from info pages such as About I use the name of the page. Date: The date of the post for status updates, I usually leave this blank for about info unless that includes a date. Date Access: self explanatory I will also usually use copy and paste from Facebook to complete the Text of the source.
