I was one of those people that hated new facebook … until I figured out how to fix it. No, it won’t look like the old facebook – progress is something you might not like, but you have learn to live with it. However this solution will get rid of the clutter and will let you keep up with your best friends.
How? By filtering the clutter. It only take about 1/2 hour to organize new fb to fit your needs.
Here’s a step by step photo-slide or follow my instrucions below:
“filters”
- the big change will b to create 2 “filters”: “best friends” and “the rest”
- “best should include … only your best friends and those who you need to keep tabs on (eg. business associate, potential date), but if one of your best friends is a “spammer” – as in he/she clutters your fb with constant updates – leave them out of this “filter”
- “the rest” – this is where you put everyone else; spammers, people that you don’t necessary need to keep up with on daily basis. And you don’t really care if you miss one or two updates about them.
Of course you can create as many filters as you can (eg “spam”, city you live in, business, etc). But don’t include same people in diferrent filters.
Once you’re done, simply drag “best” to the very top – that way whenever you open fb, you’ll only see the limited list that’s much simpler and cleaner then “all”. I decided to drag “rest” dirctly under and “all” on the very bottom
