Managing Friends Posts on Facebook - Unfollow not Unfriend

I’m sure you love your Facebook friends, well at least most of them, but there are some things  they post that I’m just not that interested in, such as  the high scores they get or their need for flowers, animals or buildings in the latest game craze. Have you ever considered unfriending someone just so you can be free of hourly updates? But you don’t need to do that.  There is an alternative.

When you see one of these posts move your mouse over the post itself. You will see a little down facing arrow or a V in the upper right side of the post. Move your mouse on the arrow and click. From the menu click on unfollow. You will never see another post from that person on your News Feed. If you'd like to see what they've been posting you can always go to their timeline. While there you can click the Follow button to again see their posts. Now, isn't that better than unfriending?


Another option available is "Hide". You can use this to hide all of those Candy Crush updates that friends share with you. When you see one of these posts use the same option menu to choose Hide. This  post will be hidden and you will be given options about hiding future posts that are similar from this game or news feed. By choosing the game feed you will be able to view the posts from that person, but not the game feeds. Whew! Did that cut down the number of posts you have to view? Now you won't be getting Candy Crush updates from any of your friends..
