Facebook Fuckery

[S O F I]

I had no idea about this. Check it out, it's from a Facebook invite. It's true.

PLEASE READ - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS!!

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:

The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right)
Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed however page owners should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.

The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans by inviting them to this event or creating one of your own so they can read the post and adjust their settings. To invite your friends: Click on "Attending" at the top and then you will see an option to invite your friends under the smiley face. It’s public so everyone who logs onto facebook can view it and even the friends who can’t see your posts WILL see the event invitation. You can also tweet about it, create a blog post or send out an email to your subscribers in hopes of reaching them all.

Thanks for this, I was curious why I never saw my wifes updates

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Twitter > Facebook

 

[Shadows]

Wow, I just changed it.

amd Casey, although i agree with you, a lot of posts disappear lately on twitter too.

I didn't believe it, but then i listed some people and noticed I was seeing their posts in the list, but not the actual time line.

I use Twitter on multiple devices, so I don't miss anything. If something doesn't show up on the web timeline, it'll show up on HootSuite, or Twidroyd, or Seesmic. It's pretty much impossible for me not to see a tweet on that basis. Because while the web Twitter interface operates directly, the third party apps pull in the data via the API.

twitter follows your ass around but then again facebook isn't much better, when it didn't take footballs from the posso and splash ur dick lol

 

[Stred]

I was actually curious as to why the same people comment my status updates.

Thanks SOFI

 

[Prize Gotti]

when it didn't take footballs from the posso and splash ur dick lol

Makes absolutely no sense, yet I feel the urge to make this my facebook status.

 

[Pittsey]

I had noticed this also. But actually thought people disliked me. Which is probably also true.

At first adding a few guys from Streethop gave me a boost of about 50% new status updates per day. Especially worth mentioning is contribution from Shadows. Thanks I guess, lol.
Since that new fuckery-feature I thought that you guys posted less but I haven't really though about it until I saw the info from Sofi, so thanks for that too. I can absorb new pick-up lines again.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Facebook sucks dick.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

my default settings were set to allow posts from everyone to be seen. although i have blocked some people out for the better.

lol. i used to update 3-5 times a day. bc...seriously, their statuses are boring, so i used to bring entertainment. I stopped for a while but i'm going to slowly start up again. that shit is funny, cuz the girls be saying some dummbbb shittt on my statuses sometimes.

i still see status updates from people i haven't interacted with in a long time. bah wtv. good to know though.

i still hate clicking on pictures and instead of going on a new page the black thing pops up with the pic. it's fucking ugly.
