Follow on Google News | How to de-clutter your Facebook account, ready for 2011 by batteryfast.co.ukFacebook is the most popular social networking tool around. It’s also the best for stalking friends old and new. But with more and more folk signing up, it can all get a bit too much for those that prefer a bit of privacy.
By: laptop battery Know who your friends are, ditch those who aren’t Let’s be honest here. No matter what your Facebook account tells you, you do not have over 500 friends. Do you really need to add someone you’ve no intention of contacting ever again? If so, don’t complain when their tenth Facebook status of the day makes you feel like spitting blood. It’s your own fault. Don’t add them in the first place. If you have, it’s time for a clean up. Make some Friends lists With so many acquaintances on Facebook it can be difficult to see what your closest friends are up to on Facebook. Creating Friends lists lets you access only the feeds generated by those you want to hear from most in one place without the clutter from ‘friends’ you haven’t spoken to in years. To create a list go to Account, click on Edit Friends, then hit the Create a list button above your friends list. Now simply click on the friends you’d like to include that list, and give a name to said list. You can give them different names such as friends, work colleagues or whatever else you like. Operation Unlike There’s a Facebook Page and group for everything these days. Sausage roll vs Cheryl Cole anyone? But do you really care if just under a million more bored Facebookers such as yourself flip over their pillow to get to the cold side? You’re just making yourself look simple. There’s probably a group about people who like to breath. Hit that unlike button and join something productive. Turn off notifications It’s perhaps a tad extreme, and is actually more about de-cluterring your Facebook experience as a whole, but you can turn off email notifications for almost anything on Facebook. Just click on Account, then click on the Notifications tab that appears. From here you can stop receiving notifications when someone has a birthday, when someone tags you, comments on a photo after you have done so, invites you to an event you’d never go to and more. Take your pick for Facebook bliss. Conceal the clutter You see all those boring news updates clogging up your News Feed? They don’t have to be there. Hide them. You can choose to get rid of individual posts, or hide all posts from a person or even applications such as Facebook Places. How do you do it? While in your news feed, hover per any status update, photo or application story. A cross should appear just to the right. Click on it and you’ll be given the options “Hide this post”and “Hide all by [name of person].” What should result is a more relevant News Feed with less clutter.
