Question from Wilma A.: Great site you have there, Rick. I visit every day!
I have a question about Facebook and I know you’ll be able to answer it for me.
I have a lot of friends and a bunch of them poke me on a regular basis. I’m talking maybe 30-40 pokes a day.
I don’t have time to respond to all the pokes as they come in so I usually wait a few days and poke everyone back at once.
Where do I look for the list of people who have poked me?

Well, the account cloning epidemic on Facebook is showing no signs of letting up.
In fact, it seems to be getting worse.
Every day I see frantic posts from several of my friends saying they’ve been hacked and not to accept a new friend request from them.
I know how alarming it can be when your friends start sending you messages saying they’ve received duplicate friend requests from you, but the situation really isn’t as dire as it seems. [Read more…]
Question from Terry: Rick, you’re the one I trust to suggest what to do about this “Off-Facebook Activity” that is in the Facebook settings.
Lots of people have said turn it off and clear its history so we won’t be tracked.
Is there anything to this? And mainly, do we need to turn off this feature?
Thank you!

Does your smartphone seem sluggish and slow compared to the way it ran when you first got it?
If so, there is one hugely popular, but quite unnecessary app that could be slowing your phone down to a crawl.
Chances are you use this app every single day, even though you don’t really need it and you’ll give up absolutely nothing by removing it.

Question from Glenda: I’ve been following your Facebook page for several years but a couple of months ago your posts stopped showing up in my Newsfeed.
I read a post you wrote a while back that said when that happens to go to your Timeline and Like, Comment and Share a few posts every day for about a week to get them to start coming into the Newsfeed again.
I’ve done that three times during the past couple of month but Facebook always stops showing me your posts again after just a day or two.
How can I fix this? I love your tips and I don’t want to miss any of them.
