Facebook Tips and Tricks

May 02 2013

We've been publishing a series of articles from My Computer Works that highlight tips, tricks, and shortcuts that make your tech life easier. See 10 Keyboard Shortcuts That Will Simplify Your Life and 7 Internet Tips and Tricks to Boost Your Online Productivity. Then, check out the latest--a list of top tips for 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 can hide any post. Once this button is pressed, you'll be prompted with the option to hide that user or, in the case of a Facebook application, the option to hide that application from ever showing up in your news feed.

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;s 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. This will prevent users from finding your account and profile picture in search results from sites like Google
  2. Under Application settings, make sure you're only allowing applications that you want to have access to your information. Applications that you grant rights to can have access to your Facebook profile information.
