Tips for
the Popular Social Networking Website Facebook:
Below
is a listing of our top 10 tips for the popular social networking website
Facebook.
Hide
users, games, polls, etc.
It
quickly gets annoying seeing some users posts, game invites, polls, etc.
Hovering your mouse to the right of the post and clicking the Hide button as
shown below can hide any post. After pressing the button, you'll have the
option to hide that user or in the case of a Facebook application the option to
hide that application from ever showing up on your profile.
To unhide someone
or unblock an application click the Edit Options link in
the bottom right corner of the news feed as shown below.
Greasemonkey and FB
Purity
Although
Facebook does not give you the option to hide friends, friend requests, or
various notifications, these can be hidden using browser add-ons. If you're
running Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari ,we suggest installing the Facebook Purity add-on.
Update your privacy settings
Click Account in the
top right corner of the Facebook window and then click Privacy
settings to adjust who is capable of seeing what on your Facebook
profile. We highly recommend going through all the privacy settings to verify
your privacy is properly protected.
Anything
that is not set to friends only or friends of friends can be seen by anyone
searching on the Internet. Below is a few things we recommend for most users.
1.
Under Search in
Privacy settings uncheck Public Search Results. Adjusting the
settings prevents users from finding your account and profile picture in search
results such as Google
2.
Under Application
settings, make sure you're only allowing applications you want to have
access to your information. Applications that you grant rights to can have
access to your Facebook profile information.
Use
the Facebook top bar for navigation
Knowing
how to properly navigate is vital if you want to get the most out of Facebook.
Below is a brief description of each of the available options in the top bar as
shown above.
Home
(Facebook logo) - Clicking this logo takes you to your wall (News Feed) that
shows all friends recent posts.
Friend
requests - If any friend requests are waiting to be approved this icon
shows a notification of how many friends are waiting for approval. This icon
can also be clicked when you want to view any friend recommendations or search
for friends on Facebook.
Messages - This
section allows you to send and receive private messages between one or more of
your friends'.
Notifications - Any
time a friend or Facebook application creates a new post you'll be notified in
this section. Clicking this icon shows all recent notifications. To change
notifications including any Facebook applications or games click the See All
Notifications link at the bottom and check or uncheck what you want to be
notified on.
Search -
Finally, the Facebook search box can be a powerful tool that can be used to
quickly find any current friends or people on Facebook. Also, searching for
terms such as a company name, product, sports team, music band, etc. will find
fan pages and groups that can be joined.
Modify
your account notifications
Keep
your e-mail and your cell phone clean by updating or eliminate Facebook
notifications or keep more up-to-date by adding new notifications. Facebook
notifications can be added and removed by clicking Account link in
the top right corner, then Account Settings, and
then clicking the Notifications tab.
Top
News and Most Recent
By
default, Facebook displays your wall postings in the News format, which means
it only displays posts it believes are most relevant to you. These results are
based on your past interaction with your friends'. If you want to see every
post made by all your friends' that are not hidden click the Most
recent link in the upper right section of your news feed as shown in
the above picture example.
If you
want to adjust who shows up manually, click the Edit Options in the
bottom right corner of your news feed.
View
High School work friends
If
you've added your High School or previous Work locations to your profile,
quickly see all classmates and co-workers on Facebook by clicking the link in
your Info tab under your profile.
Quickly
change profile picture
Your
profile picture can be changed by visiting your profile, hovering the mouse
over your current profile picture, and clicking the Change
Picture link in the top right corner.
Don't
post private information on friend's walls on in comments
When
you make a post on a friend's wall or in any of their comments, realize that
any of their friends are going to be able to see that post. If you want
something to remain only between you and a friend send them a Facebook message
instead.
Suggestions
and random friend invites
As you
get more friends on Facebook, it will begin making friend, groups, and fan
suggestions. These are suggestions made by Facebook and not your friends'.
Unless these are something you're interested in they can be ignored.
This
same rule can be applied to people who may want to be your friend that you
don't know. If you don't know someone do not accept his or her friend invite.
Once someone becomes your friend, they'll have access to any information your
friends' are capable of seeing.
Tag your
Facebook friends in your photos
Always
make sure to tag any of your Facebook friends that are in pictures you upload.
However, never tag someone who is not in the picture. When someone is tagged in
a photo that picture is automatically added to that persons profile and is a
great way to share pictures with all friends.
