Stuff I Stumbled Upon

Original Story

With Facebook p*ssing off their customers like they are— it’s real close to being a dead language.

How has News Feed changed?

All of your news is now in one place with the most interesting stories featured at the top. If you haven’t visited Facebook for a while, the first things you’ll see are top photos and status updates posted while you’ve been away. They’re marked with an easy-to-spot blue corner.
If you check Facebook more frequently, you’ll see the most recent stories first. Photos will also be bigger and easier to enjoy while you’re scrolling through.

How do I control what I see in my News Feed?

Filter by friend lists
Click the name of one of your friend lists on the left side of your home page to view only stories by people on the list you’ve selected.
Hide a person or a story type (e.g. a quiz)
Click the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over the top right corner of a story you want to remove from your stream. Then, select an option from the drop-down menu:

• "Hide story" will remove the individual story

• The "Hide all by" and "Unsubscribe from" links will remove the post and prevent all future stories from a person, Page, group, event or app

• "Report story or spam" will remove the post and help keep your News Feed clear of similar stories in the future

Unhide stories from a person, Page, group, event or app

1. From your home page, hover your mouse to the left of the left side News Feed menu.
2. Select Edit
3. A list of people, apps, Pages, and groups you’ve hidden or unsubscribed from will appear in a pop-up box. Click the X next to each one you’d like to remove from this list. Removing someone or something from your list of hidden stories means those stories can appear in your News Feed again.
4. Click Save.

How do I add friends, Pages, groups, events or apps back to my News Feed after I hide them?

1. From your home page, hover your mouse to the left of the left side News Feed menu.
2. Select Edit.
3. A list of people, apps, Pages, and groups you’ve hidden or unsubscribed from will appear in a pop-up box. Click the X next to each one you’d like to remove from this list.
4. Click Save.

Removing someone or something from your list of hidden stories means those stories can appear in your News Feed again.

What happened to Most Recent?

We’ve combined the Top News and Most Recent stories together in a single News Feed view.
If you see top stories first when you load your News Feed, simply scroll down to see the recent stories.

What types of content can appear in News Feed?

In addition to posts from friends and Pages you follow, you’ll see photo tags, friend requests, event updates, group memberships and other activity.

It’s like they’re trying to give me more reasons to dump the site, and move completely over to Google+ (hint my link is over on the right side!)

Why yes Google.  I think I shall add Mark Zuckerberg to one of my circles. 

Also apparently like every other Gmail beta—Google+ has an invite limit now.

It goes without saying—no matter how awesome, this will never happen.  Just remember Zuckerberg kills all of the “meat” that he eats… not exactly sane and rational up inside his head.

‪What is Google+ (Google Plus) and do I need it?‬‏ – YouTube.

ECards Google+ Joke

Pretty damn good.

I’m guessing everybody forgot about that Lion Cub pretty quickly– once the google+ invites started to get passed around.

What Facebook Users do on their Birthdays

Sort of obsolete now– with Google+ and all.

Google+ Vs Facebook and Myspace

Technology is just like fashion– as long as everybody doesn’t have it, it’s popular and trendy.

It’s old and made it’s rounds on Google+ but unless you got an account—you probably didn’t see it.

Okay maybe it is—but only like 99.90%
