Facebook Tips & Tricks

  • Use a current profile picture.
  • Don't overdo your 'Interests' - it's understood that you enjoy "chillin' with friends" and "reading a good book," so get more descriptive. Instead of "chillin' with friends, say, for example, "eating fried chicken  while watching football with the boys." Instead of "reading a good book," respond with, "Victorian Literature."
