INVITE NON-FACEBOOKERS TO AN EVENT When you are cr eating an event on Facebook, the Select Guests men u shows your existing friends, but it also lets yo u enter the e-mail addresses of people who do not have Facebook accounts. Type one or more e-mail ad dress, separated by commas, into the Invite by E-m ail Address box. Your invitees will receive a mess age with a link to your event page that, unfortuna tely, prompts them to sign up for Facebook before they can look at it. GET THE TICKER OUT OF YOUR WAY Facebook recently a dded a constantly scrolling window on the right si de of the screen that shows your friends’ updates as they come in. Fun for some, agitating for other s. You can’t turn it off entirely, but you can mak e the moving ticker as small as possible. Using yo ur cursor, grab the bar that separates the Ticker from your Facebook Chat window. Drag it upward unt il the Ticker is as small as possible — the size o f two status updates. That will reduce the level o f unwanted distraction it causes while you’re tryi ng to read the rest of the page, while still letti ng you see new updates. ADD A CALENDAR TO YOUR PAGE If you’re a business o wner, a team coach or a performer who wants to kee p everyone on Facebook apprised of your coming eve nts, simply creating separate Facebook events for each one can be ineffective. These can get lost in the stream of events, making it hard for people t o check for, say, your next game. As an alternativ e, use the Social Calendar app, which was not deve loped by Facebook. Go to facebook.com/SocialCalend ar and click the Add to My Page link in the lower left corner. That will pop up a menu of pages you manage. Click Add to Page next to one or more page s, then click Close. Those pages will now include a Calendar link in their upper left corner, just b elow Wall, Info and Photos. Social Calendar is pre tty smart — it will autocomplete the names of even ts you’ve already created, and if you type in an A
ddress field, it will add a map link to the locati on on the calendar. But for maximum attendance, yo u should still post status updates announcing an event. TRACK YOUR PAGE’S SUCCESS On any page you own, whe ther it is for your business or your clog-dancing club, click View Insights in the upper right corne r. Facebook will display charts of user informatio n and page interactions. Beyond the number of Like s and comments, it will plot a graph of page views and user feedback, plus a breakdown of which Web domains are sending traffic to your page, and the demographics of your visitors. If you want to do y our own number-crunching, you can export the data into an Excel-compatible file. KEEP A BIRTHDAY PARTY A SECRET Do you want to let everyone except one or two people know what you’re up to? Edit a status update as usual, but before you post, click the lock icon below the editing bo x. That will pop up a menu with options for specif ying who can see your update. By default, it’s set to Everyone. Choose Customize instead, and in the dialog box that pops up, enter one or more names in the box near the bottom that says Hide This Fro m. There’s another button to make this your defaul t setting for future updates, so you needn’t worry about accidental oversharing. BLOCK ANNOYING COMMENTERS Do you have a friend who constantly posts inappropriate comments on your u pdates but whom you can’t bring yourself to unfrie nd? In the uppermost right corner of Facebook, cli ck Account and choose Privacy Settings. That will take you to a page labeled Choose Your Privacy Set tings. Near the bottom is a section labeled Sharin g on Facebook. Hiding at the bottom of that sectio n is a link labeled Customize Settings. Scroll dow n to Things Others Share. There’s a setting for "P ermission to comment on your posts." It works just like the filter for sharing status updates: click Customize, and enter names of people to keep Face
