If you are bored with FaceBook, it is your own fault. The first steps to curing this fault are expanding the number of profiles hitting your News Feed, then creating Lists. Scroll down to the very bottom of your Newsfeed and select Edit Options. Now you can change your default from 250 profiles to a higher number, I made mine 700 giving me some room to grow. I’ve discussed how to create and use Lists to manage your newsfeed previously. Remember these Lists are Private, only you see them, unlike Twitter which can be Public or Profile.
Now you are ready to play. Maybe be a little more generous with your friendship. Add some more people from the past or even people you have just met. Take the time to email people from the past and give a more detailed update to your life. Better yet ask some questions. Make friends with your scanner and add some of those old pictures you have buried in the closet. When you have exhausted your personal resources, start creating. Typing a “Note” on Facebook is just like Blogging. Pick a theme and start writing about it. Tag some of us so we see it. Write about whatever interests you and the odds are very good you will find some people who share that interest. Suddenly, Facebook isn’t that boring anymore…and neither are you.
