THANK YOU Facebook

October 5, 2008 | Facebook, Time Savers | Connie

… for finally valuing my time. (It’s about time, too!)

I love my friend requests & add them all. This is my system:

friend request with no note – just add them
friend request with reason – add & respond
friend request with comment about my blog – add & thank them
friend suggestion – only add if I know them personally

Periodically I have to delete all the other requests. It was SO time consuming because I only do it when they get up around 200. This morning I spent 30 min’s & then complained on Twitter about the waste of my time. @degeeked told me that there is an "Ignore All" button!!! WAY TO GO Facebok! but in true Facebook fashion it’s not easy to find.

Click on Home | other requests

Scroll to right & there is the magic button - ‘ignore all’!

That will give you the option to happily mass delete!

And @degeeked suggested that in the future I should use the saved 45 minutes for a nap! My recommendation is that you follow @degeeked for their smashing ideas! And check out degeeked.com for oodles & oodles of ideas!

What is your favorite Facebook tip or trick?

Thanks. That tip sure came in handy. I’m gonna use that 45 mins for a nice power nap. And I do agree with you: Facebook never makes anything easy…

Excellent article and tutorial.
I would love to add this entire post to a facebook post.

Add Facebook as an option in feedburner so you can have people add your blog articles to their facebook feed.

Man am I happy we’re friends. I wouldn’t want to be introduced to you on Facebook by an unknown

Hope you are well Connie!

You’re right on the money Connie. Facebook has had to evolve considerably considering its original intent and market.

Looking forward to your chapter in Aoc2.

Thanks so much for this tip. It’s so annoying to get most of those invitations and requests. As far as Facebook making it so hard to find, I suppose they don’t want us to find a way to “ignore all”.
