Quick and Easy Facebook News Feed Tip
Since I can’t stop using Facebook, I at least thought I would share this little tip that will make your life a little easier when using the book of face. Simply put, you can create custom news feeds (ie - close friends, family, co-workers, sworn enemies and the like) that will only show you the updates of people you might actually know, yet alone care about!
Plus, this gives me a chance to show off my unbelievable paint skills.
Here’s how –>
- Hit this appropriately titled “create” button. It makes things do stuff.
- Fail at formatting your blog.
- Name your list. Make sure you hit enter after you cleverly name it.
- Add people to list. I obviously added my hated enemy Macey, and drew horns, and other fun things.
- Save. It pops up on the left, drag it to wherever you need. Since I want to be on my toes and keep tabs on my hated enemies, even though they are too busy reading men’s fashion magazines to properly use Facebook, I dragged my new list to the top.
- Phase 7 - ?
- Phase 8 - Profit.
That’s a reference to the underpants gnomes. If you don’t get it, catch up on things that are funny.
There you go, now go make lists and things and make your life on the interwebs meaningful.
What goes through the head of a new Twitter user
There’s a pretty typical Twitter new user cycle that I have noticed for people who are just signing up for Twitter. Yes list is most definitely also based on my Twitter history. Between this and Facebook, who needs real friends?
In a mostly particular order, here’s the thought process as you go through signing up for Twitter:
- Talk mad shit about Twitter. “Why the hell do I want to use Twitter? Who cares if Johnny Emokid is eating a bowl of Cheerios? Twitter sucks.”
- Get convinced by either a nerd, celebrity, or news outlet to give it a try.
- Your first Tweet is “Why am I on this … Stupid”, or something along those lines. My first tweet? “already regretting being on twitter
- I wnt but I dnt drink” …
I think that about covers it.
@peterahall this guy thinks that lists and blogging about Twitter and Facebook is cool. It’s not. Boom roasted.
