8 hidden Facebook and Twitter tricks you never knew (or forgot long ago) 2

s social media marketers, we have a lot competing for our attention. Whether it’s monitoring trending topics, sharing relevant content, or networking with other marketers, we rely on systems to help us stay organized. The problem with finding a system that works for you, and then never changing your workflow, is that you might be missing out on some really neat features on your favorite social networks.

But let’s be honest – it’s pretty much impossible to know that you don’t know something that you don’t know. That’s why we have collected a list of our favorite little-known, hidden, or longforgotten features on Facebook and Twitter: 1. Facebook: Save Link 2. Twitter: Save by Favoriting 3. Facebook: Edit Photos on Mobile

4. Twitter: Find Out Who Unfollowed You

5. Facebook: Follow Without Friending 6. Twitter: Mute Feature If you have someone in your Twitter feed who you want to remain engaged with, but find their content irrelevant or irritating, Twitter mute is for you. Or, in a less extreme example, maybe someone you know is attending an event and is kind enough to issue a volume alert letting followers know that they will be posting a lot on a certain topic for the next few days. If that topic doesn’t interest you, you can mute them while the event is going on, and then unmute them when their feed goes back to normal. 7. Facebook: Interests Lists If you use Facebook for both business and pleasure, this will be of particular interest. Sometimes when you are browsing your news feed for great content to share or learn from, it is easy to lose an hour due to all the other unrelated items you encounter. Combat this with Facebook’s Interests Lists. From your Home screen on Facebook, scroll down the left-hand navigation until you see the header INTERESTS. Click that, and you will be taken to a page where you can create new lists that will serve as custom-curated news feeds for your browsing pleasure. 8. Facebook: English (Pirate) We’re taking it back to 2008 when people first began to discover that they could set their language on Facebook to English (Pirate). This probably falls under the category of ‘long forgotten’ because it has no practical application. But if you want to have a laugh today and experience a blast from the past, click the dropdown menu in the top right corner of your Facebook window, click Settings, and edit your language setting to English (Pirate). When you get sick of this (and you will), just repeat the process to change back to your original language. Important note: when you return to the dropdown menu, Settings will now be called ‘Adjust ye riggin’s’.
