Facebook

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK!

ARE YOU WONDERING WHERE EVERY ONE WENT???

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same few 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 you are not hearing from anyone else?

The problem is that a large chunk of your contact 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 you’ve recently interacted with or have interacted the most with (which was limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the “new profile” update). So, in other words, unless you or your friends/fans commented on one another’s posts within those couple of weeks – you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!! Basically a huge black-out that no one knew about.

HERE’S THE FIX: 
On your 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 the drop down next to “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)

The good news is: 
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 friends and contacts. If you want to re-establish contact, you will need to help get the word out so people can adjust their settings. You need to tweet about it, create a blog post and send out an email to your friends and subscribers in hopes of reaching them all.
