Surprise! I rarely ever get on the actual facebook site (part 1)

Labels:

I know most of the people just getting started with facebook think that it is totally ridiculous for their friends to "swing by" the site once an hour to see if their cousin uploaded any more pictures of her cats.

I agree.

Do you utilize your facebook notifications by email? You should. I do, and I rarely ever get on the actual facebook site anymore. Most "comments" can be commented, and "likes" liked and "pokes" poked via email. Then, if you are using gmail, you can filter all of these incoming messages into a folder, and deal with them as you wish.


Email Notifications (pulled directly from facebook help)
To control what email notifications Facebook sends to you, simply go to the Notifications tab of the Account Settings page.

If the notification is from an application, you can block any application on Facebook. To block an application, navigate to the application’s about page. At the top right of the page will be a "Block Application" option.

You can setup a contact email address from the Settings tab of the Account page. Follow the simple steps to activate the new email address, and then the address can be used to login. It will also be the address we use to send Facebook notifications.

To change your notification settings for a group, go to the group and click "Edit Settings" at the top right of the page. You have the option to be notified whenever a member posts, when a member posts or comments, when a friend posts. If you do not want to receive automatic notifications for the group, you can choose to receive them only about posts to which you are subscribed.

 
To respond to a comment someone has made on a post directly from the email notification, simply reply with your comment in the body of the email. Your comment will then be posted after that person’s comment.
Please make sure that you received this request at an email address that is listed on your account. If the request was sent to a different email address then it will not show in your account. Feel free to send the other person a friend request from your account. Alternatively, you could ask them to request you as a friend again at the appropriate email address.

In addition, if someone deactivates his or her account, you will not see the friend request on your Home page.
Please make sure you have not adjusted your email notification settings from the Notifications tab of the Account page.

In addition, please check your spam/junk email filter to ensure that emails coming from Facebook have not been incorrectly placed in this folder. Be sure to add the "@facebookmail.com" email domain to your email account's safe senders list.

If you are still not receiving emails from Facebook, please contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to ensure that they are not blocking email traffic coming from Facebook.

It is possible that this person removed the content from your profile before you were able to view it. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to view content after it has been deleted.
