In my first edition of Facebook tips and tricks I wrote about some of my favorite things you can do on Facebook that most people don’t know about. Since that post, A LOT has changed about Facebook. They have added some new awesome features, which will enhance your Facebook experience.
1. See your privacy settings- Facebook privacy settings can be so confusing! I want some people to see my pictures, others to see my wall and I’m never sure if I got it right or not. If you go into your settings and follow the path to your privacy settings you can now see how each of your friends sees your profile.
Just type in a friend’s name:
And you can view your profile how they see it!
No more second guessing your privacy settings! Now you can see for yourself what your old boss, grandmother or little cousin can see on your Facebook profile.
2. Subscribe via SMS- Just like on Twitter, Facebook now allows you to subscribe to friend’s updates via text message. Just go to your friends’ profile and look under their profile picture.
Now you will never miss what your Facebook friends are doing!
3. Hide Facebook quizzes- The most obnoxious thing about the new Facebook stream is that you have to see the results of the quizzes your friends take. Well not anymore! When a quiz shows up in your stream scroll your mouse over to the rights and click “hide.”
From there you can hide that quiz, and you will never see the results of the quiz no matter how many of your friends take it.
I hope this post was helpful to you. Please share your favorite Facebook tips and tricks in the comments section of this post!
