More and more of my friends and family are getting started or getting more active on Facebook. As I talk with people more about how they’re using Facebook and what they like about it, the conversation very naturally flows into what annoys them about Facebook as well.
It’s been over four months since I’ve seen a Facebook quiz show up on my wall. I’m rarely notified of new invites to try a new, cool application, and I’ve finally figured out how to accurately import an RSS feed into your Facebook Notes.
As I share that information with people, many of them are interested in and immediately ask me how I did it. I’ve been directing them back to each post by email. I thought it would probably be a good time to share a little, short review of some of the lessons I’ve learned on Facebook.
- Managing Facebook Information: Be aware that when you add someone to your network, they can see your updates. You may be sharing stuff with people you didn’t realize.
- How to Block Those Annoying Facebook Apps: Just like the title says, here’s the instructions on how to block all those annoying applications from your wall and updates.
- Something Better Than Facebook Vanity Names: Facebook has made vanity names available to give you a nice, short URL for your Facebook profile. They’re about to release the same thing for pages. Here’s something a little better.
- Importing an RSS Feed to Your Facebook Page: Here’s a popular one for sure. If you’ve got a blog and you want another way to spread the word, take advantage of this.
- Facebook Quizzes Be Banned!: Here’s the holy grail. It’s time to shut those quizzes down for good.
Hopefully at least one of these have helped you out. If you’ve got other questions about Facebook or things you can’t figure out, let me know in the comments. I’ll see if I can find some answers and a solution for you.
