1. 6 Ways to Get Out of Your Rut and Get More Out of Facebook
Great tips for optimizing your NewsFeed! I’d add two more tips:
- Create Interest Lists for people/Pages that are important to you. Then you can click on the List and see updates from only those accounts.
- Add/Remove people to your “Close Friends” and “Acquaintances” Lists. Designating someone as a Close Friend means you’ll see more of his/her posts; moving someone to the Acquaintances List means you’ll see less.

A helpful guide for listening (using monitoring tools or Searches), and then responding to social media conversations.
