Q&A: If I mute someone on Twitter will they find out about it?

Posted on March 23, 2023

Question from Twyla : If I mute someone on Twitter will they be told that I have muted them?

The reason I’m asking is my brother-in-law is always posting obnoxious and disgusting tweets that I’d rather not see.

I certainly don’t want any of my friends to see them either, but I don’t want to upset my sister. [Read more…]

How to quickly eliminate Facebook’s most irritating annoyances

Posted on March 21, 2023

Do you use Facebook on a laptop or desktop computer?

If so, you’re probably familiar with one or more of these common annoyances:

You keep seeing the same ads over and over again, many (or even most) of which might even be scams

Political posts (and the arguments they generate) get your blood boiling

Posted on March 15, 2023

Question from Kenny L.: I read your post about using the “Facebook Debugger” to force Facebook to show the new version of an updated blog post when you re-share the URL.

Thank you so much for that. It was a big help to me!

Every time I update a post on my blog and then re-share the URL on LinkedIn it insists on showing the title and image I had used for the old version. That’s incredibly frustrating!

Q&A: How can I find out if someone is receiving my friend requests on Facebook?

Posted on March 10, 2023

Question from Delores: Hi Rick. I hope you can answer a question for me about Facebook.

Is there any way to find out if a person I sent a friend request to has received it?

I’ve sent multiple friend requests to someone I used to work with, but she has never accepted me as a friend on Facebook.

I’d just like to know if she’s receiving my friend requests. Can you tell me how to check? [Read more…]
