Facebook (Again)
Early this morning I got a flood of emails/copies of posts from members of
the rpca facebook group. This has never happened to me in the past. In fact, I thought I'd deactivated my account last year. I've deactivated it again. To those whose FB accounts sent me purr requests... of course you have them. But please understand. I don't use FB. I don't like FB. Jill |

I think you're gone now because I got a message that we were no longer "friends". Bobble |

(Does anyone not realize that anyone with the know-how can find out ANYTHING about ANYONE via the Internet?) At least I can avoid "social networking" via Facebook and Twitter. |

It's not the members I dislike, it's FB itself. I still like you! Jill |

Jill It's not FB who told me, but a third party application I use which simplifies FB and makes it possible for me to change FB more to my liking. Bobble |

I got a notice that one of my "friends" is having a birthday this week. I don't recognize the name. I have a number of friends from this group whose names I don't know, but when I saw a list of mutual friends, I realized they must be from here. However, there are only two mutual friends with this person. One is from this group, but another is a Toastmaster. I'd like to go through my list and, if I can't figure out how I know the person, send them a message that didn't appear on Facebook, asking how I know them or if they'd mind if I "unfriend" them. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings by just "unfriending" to start with. Joy |

Click that, and a window will open, pre-addressed, for you to write a private message, then click "send". When you receive a message, the icon (upper left) between "friend request" and "notifications" will light up red. Bobble |

When that comes up, look to the right, on the same line as your friend's name, and you should see a button labeled "Message". Click on that and a dialog will come up where you can address a message to that person and send it. I'd like to go through my list and, if I can't figure out how I know the person, send them a message that didn't appear on Facebook, asking how I know them or if they'd mind if I "unfriend" them. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings by just "unfriending" to start with. You can also "hide" someone from your newsfeed, so that they're still your friend, but you aren't seeing their posts. To do that, click on your own name, to bring up your wall. On the left side, underneath your photo, there's a list that has stuff like "info," "photos," "notes," etc. Click on "Friends." That will bring up your friends list. Then find the name of someone whose posts you don't want to read. In that row, on the right, there's a button labeled "Friends." Hover the mouse over that button (you don't have to click), and you'll see a menu open under the button. In the menu there's an item "Show in News Feed". It should be checked and bold. Just select that item to turn that feature off. (It will then be unchecked, not bold.) Note: if "Show in News Feed" isn't in the list, then select "show all lists" and it will appear. I've never done any of these things myself, because the last time I used FB, which was not that long ago, the procedure for hiding someone's posts from your newsfeed (while keeping them "friended") was completely different. In order to write the above, I first had to go through the steps a few times just to be sure I was telling you the right thing. I give these instructions about a week before they become outdated. :) So you might want to do this soon, before the next batch of unannounced and unexplained changes is visited on the FB user interface... -- Joyce Loneliness is comforted by the closeness and touch of fur to fur, skin to skin, or -- skin to fur. -- Paul Gallico |
