Curating Facebook II

You can change more than you think you can

I hate Facebook! It emails me every time one of my friends changes their status! And every time a total stranger wants to be my "friend"!


So turn off notifications.

1. Click the down arrow on the right.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select Notifications.

4. Select Email.

5. Turn everything to OFF.

And those uplifting messages with pictures of sunsets? Click on the down arrow in the top righthand corner, and select from the options (eg, "Hide this post/see fewer like this", "Hide all from the Dalai Lama").

And you can do it on LinkedIn too:

Go to your profile settings. Select Communications. Select "Set the frequency of emails".
