How to unhide people and applications from your Facebook feed

By: Kevin Palmer on 11/16/2009

This weekend I had a friend of mine who was using Facebook on a computer that wasn’t his. He thought that he was logged in to his account and hid some people from his feed and hid some applications that he considers annoying. A few seconds after doing this he realized that he wasn’t logged into his account. I got a message asking me to help him figure out how to unhide people and applications. After writing out the directions on how to do it I realized this was a cheap and easy blogpost… er… I mean valuable content that I should share. (Joking aside there was some conflicting information on how to do this, so I figured it made sense to post it.)

How to unhide people from your Facebook feed

1) From your start page make sure you have “live feed” selected.

2) Scroll to the bottom of the page. At the end of all your feeds select the “edit options” link.

3) On the right hand side there will be a box with the people you have selected to hide from your feed. Click the “x” next to their name to allow them to show up in your feed again.

You have now enabled that person to show up in your “live feed”. If you want them in your “news feed” you need to follow the next few steps.

4) From your start page make sure you have “news feed” selected.

5) Scroll to the bottom of the page. At the end of all your feeds select the “edit options” link.

6) In this box you will be able to add people to your news feed, applications, and fan pages that you had previously blocked.

Now you can right the wrongs that you have committed in fits of rage against your friends who talk about farmville way too much.

Ive written a few blog posts (http://btrandolph.com/2009/06/facebook-friend-lists-and-privacy-settings-redux/) on creating and using friend lsts in facebook to control what people see on your profile. as more people are opening the facebook lives to non-family and friends, it can make a big difference! this post offers some additional tips, esp on photo albums.

Getting kids to eat right and to love healthy food for the rest of their lives takes patience and a gentle hand. Sometimes, it takes sleight of hand. Here are a few tips for slipping some nutrient-packed ingredients into your kids' favorite meals.

have seen most of these before, but a reminder is always helpful as we we approach year seven of the campaign to broaden the spectrum

So I created a new Gmail Labs feature called "Remove Labels from Subjects" that automatically hides the labels from messages in your inbox, leaving plenty of space for the messages' subjects.
