Are You Missing Some Friends on Facebook?

I received this message from one of my Facebook friend. Many are aware of this and others have changed this setting more than a year ago. But, there are still plenty out there who are oblivious to this, I was one of them, are you?

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from th...e same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:

The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right) Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed however page owners should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.

So now you can view all of your friends and fans again. 

However, YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. 

If you want the large portion of your friends to SEE you, then you must get the word out to ALL your friends and fans by telling them to adjust their settings.
