If you have many friends or followers
on your social network, it’s only natural that your news feed is
cluttered. You are either swarmed with photos and videos; or you miss
the all-important updates from the people you really care about.
Social media makes better sense if you are organized.
Be selective while accepting friend
requests. There is no obligation to ‘confirm’, since, even if you
don’t, he or she will remain subscribed to your public posts.
Even if you have 1,000 friends on
Facebook, you can still have your small private corners to share
photos and status updates. They are called Lists.
Facebook, by default, provides three
lists: Close Friends, Acquaintances and Restricted. A few others like
family, your workplaces and schools, are automatically created,
depending upon the details you add to your profile.
To see the lists, go to “Friends”
on the left pane of the home page. You can create your own lists as
well, like “Party pals”, “Teachers” etc. When you upload
photos, make them visible to one or more lists, so that only people
in those lists will see them. The same applies to your posts.
In Facebook, contacts added to ‘Close
friends’ show up more often on News Feed.
In Twitter too, you can make Lists.
Categorize people you follow like Celebrities, Friends, News
organizations, etc. This will help if you are following too many
people on Twitter.
