Top 5 Facebook tips

1. 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 can hide that user, or in the case of a Facebook application, hide the application from being mentioned.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Don’t post private information on friend’s walls or in comments

When you make a post on a friend’s wall or in their comments, realize that any of their friends can see that post. If you want something to remain only between you and a friend, send them a Facebook message instead.

5. Suggestions and random friend invites

As you get more friends on Facebook, it begins 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.
