How do I filter my social news feed with the new layout?

Question by Matt: How do I filter my social news feed with the new layout?
On the old social layout, there was an option on the left of my home screen to choose to only display postings from individual apps, such as Cafe World. This option appears to have disappeared. Is there still a way to filter the news feed? Perhaps it just takes some getting used to, but currently I found Facebook’s new interface to be a downgrade.

Best answer:

Answer by dropzone9540
I agree. Much less user-friendly. Here’s your answer from social FAQ:

You can filter your News Feed using the Friends Dashboard. Click on “Friends” in the left navigation column to view your options for filtering the News Feed which include Friend Lists and Status Updates. Simply click on one of these options to see News Feed stories about recent status updates or the friends you’ve added to a certain list.

Edit: This appears to only filter certain friends. I am still looking how to filter by application.

How To Use social To Build Up Your Business

How To Use social To Build Up Your Business

social is one of the most popular social networking mediums, and their membership numbers are increasing quickly. It is a great tool for networking; but like many tools available for networking on the web, promotional or marketing activities are frowned upon. 

So be careful when using social and do your online marketing activities under the radar, or you might miss out on a powerful tool to boost your business.

In this article, I’ll give you some vital pointers to maximize the power of Facebook.

1) Just like any other social site, be careful what you put in your profile.

You don’t want to be seen as a link spammer. And you don’t want to give away too much personal information either (unless you don’t care that thousands of people may see your profile).

Just be careful with any personal details you put out there for others to see, such as where you live and pictures of your children. You do not want to pick up a stalker, especially when you are networking with strangers.

2) Don’t make the mistake of using your business name as your profile name, as this is against Facebook’s terms of service.

You are allowed to create other social pages to brand your company, products or websites.

3) Respond to any friend requests and carefully send your own invitations. Make them personal and interesting.

Developing a great network is your long-term goal to generate a slow, but steady traffic stream to your websites. Use this tool to your advantage without being pushy or overbearing. Facebooks members hate spamming (who doesn’t?) and will carefully watch out for anything that violates their Terms of Service (TOS).

If you want to see profiles of those from another network, add them as your friends using the “Add to Friends” button. Follow the steps in the Edit tool to fill out any information you want others in your network, or others you accept as friends, to view.

4) Use various applications of Facebook.

social has many applications which would make your networking experience easier or more enjoyable. Examples are applications for adding footage or photograph albums to your profile for others to see.

I’ll discuss two other powerful social applications in a moment.

5) Use Facebook’s “My Questions” application to find out what people are exactly looking for concerning your niche

This is where posters answer certain questions about themselves and what they are looking for on Facebook. They will also list their interests. Use this in your networking activities.

Unless they have expressed an interest in your field, do not invite them to join your friends list. Of course, you can still ask them if you genuinely want to be their friend. 

But if you are there to network for your website business, then choose your friends wisely. This is how you are building your list and getting traffic to your website. So you have to manage your time well and eliminate non-productive activities.

Again, be very careful about Facebook’s TOS. Do not go against it because breaking the rules will get you banned.

6) Use “social Discuss.”

It is Facebook’s answer to instant messaging. Chatting, or IM’ing, on social is truly quite easy when you use social Discuss .

Just go to your social page and you can start using social Discuss immediately. At the base of each social page, you may see your social Discuss tools.

The first of the 3 social Discuss tools is the online friends tool. This simply tells you which of your social buddies is online at this time. The next social Discuss tool is notifications that may let you know if you have any new social notifications right from the tool. The 3rd tool in social Discuss is the real discuss tool.

 7) Create and join social groups.

Just as they have subscribed to your blog, they’re going to join your social group. So people looking on social for related groups would feel welcome to join.

social groups are viral selling mechanisms. Search social for groups on your topic and related ones. In each of these groups, you can post a message on the group Wall or debate board, or you may use the Post a Link feature to inform the group’s members of your group and your blog.

By promoting your social group at first, rather than promoting your blog, you decrease the chance the group director will remove your message. Any social member can make a group and invite users on their pals list to join.

A form prompts you to give the group a name, passing outline and class. At the following stage, you can customize your group’s available applications, upload a profile photograph and set privacy levels.

A secret group is fascinating for work-related activity, but it will not show up in search results. Choosing a closed group might be the best idea for you to protect your privacy. You will be inspired to choose members from your friends list to join the group.

When you start a group on Facebook, you can invite members to join the group and share their thoughts, viewpoints and consultations about your product, idea or start-up. Invitations to join a social group can be through your social buddies, your Yahoo contacts, etc.

8) Integrate your application into specific areas of the social profile

A social application can take on a lot of forms; but in order to entirely implement the selection of integration points and deliver a full user experience, it is advised that you integrate your application into specific areas of the social profile.

This permits millions of viewers to see your business everywhere on social and attract potential patrons, who would naturally visit your start-up Internet site.

Remember to follow all Facebooks rules; otherwise, you’ll risk getting banned and your account deleted. This is not what you are looking for. Instead you want to use the group feature to promote your website within Facebooks rules. Do not overstep by thinking you can get around the rules. Use social features to your advantage and you will see an increase in your website traffic.

Using social And Twitter To Market Your Ebook And Online Business

Using social And Twitter To Market Your Ebook And Online Business

Social networking has made the process of marketing your eBook much easier. By having a presence on social and Twitter you can position yourself as an expert in your field in a very short time. Even while you are still writing your eBook, get started on these two social media sites and become the go-to person in your niche.


social now has more than one hundred million members, so the best way to let people know about you and your eBook is to start your own group. You can use the title of your eBook as the title of the group you create, provided it is filled with your keywords.


You can invite your social friends to join your group, but people will also be able to find your group by typing your keywords into Google or any other search engine. For example, if you type ebook writing and technology into Google, my social group is number one. How cool is that?


You will also want to create a page on social with the name of the eBook as the title. A page is separate from your profile in that it is specifically about your business or your product, which in this case is your eBook.


This page will also rank high in the search engines, but that is not the only way it will help people to find you and your eBook. When you create a page you can also import your blog’s RSS feed into the page. This means that every time you make a post to your blog it will automatically be syndicated into Facebook. Even though you can do this in other areas of Facebook, being able to import your blog, where you are writing about your niche topic, will give your eBook even more exposure.


My strong recommendation is that you purchase a domain name that is the same as the name of your eBook, and then forward that domain to your page on Facebook. Your blog’s domain name can be something very similar, or it can be exactly the same with a different extension. For example, your blog may end with dot come, whereas your social page may end with dot net. This is a great way to take full advantage of your keywords, while branding your name and your niche at the same time.


Twitter is the other major player in the social networking arena. You can set up your account to automatically tweet your blog posts at certain times each day. When you write about your eBook in one of your blog posts, anyone who is following you on Twitter will see what you have written.


Even though you are limited to 140 characters with each tweet, you can shorten your links by using a site such as tinyurl or bitly. This enables you to provide great information about your eBook in the space you are allowed. You may also want to give out a sample chapter to your Twitter followers so that they can see if this is something they will be interested in purchasing. I recommend doing this while you are still writing, so that you will already have prospects when you are ready to make sales.


The combination of Facebook, Twitter, and your blog will give you the online presence you need in order to sell your eBook and become known to your target audience. By seeing your name in so many places, you will be able to attract new prospects and clients on a regular basis.


By getting involved in social networking right now, you will be able to position yourself as the expert in your niche. People will know who you are and associate you with your topic. There has never been a better time to be online than right now, and social networking speeds up the process of building your list and gaining the credibility and visibility necessary to sell your eBook and building your online empire.

Connie Ragen Green teaches you how to write articles and eBooks to build an online business, as well as how to use the technology needed. Visit http://www.EbookWritingandMarketingSecrets.com to find out more.

Create Your Personalized social News Feed

Create Your Personalized social News Feed

Have you been having a frustrated relationship with social lately – mostly over their tendency to turn a new application or feature ON for everyone, and then make you spend precious time turning it off, blocking those crazy little applications, or hiding people’s updates on your News Feed?

What is the News Feed?

News Feed enables you to know all the events related to a social acquaintance. On your profile page, you will receive a “feed” of the newest events produced by your friends and social groups’ interests whenever you log in.

I really wanted to be able to personalize my News Feed, and show only those friends whose feeds I wanted to see when I log into my social account. The only obvious way to accomplish this was to click the ‘hide’ arrow on the right side of a feed for every social friend whose updates I did NOT want to include.

Very time consuming.

But I discovered there is a fast and easy way to create your own personalized social News Feed, and have it be the default newsfeed in your account.

If you’ve been frustrated by this as well, we have created a short video on our website showing you exactly how to do this in your social account. You will find the link to access it at the bottom of this article.

Here’s a Shortcut to Customize your social NewsFeed!

Another way to make sure you are seeing only the feeds of those whom you want to see is to create a special friends list with only those individuals in it.

Once you have that list, it will appear in the drop down menu on the left side of your page. Simply scroll down to it, grab it with your mouse, and drag it to the top of your left column. That becomes your new NewsFeed.
