Facebook 101: 25 Tips and Tricks

Know the difference between suggested friends and friend requests

This one may seem like a no-brainer, but it can be a challenge to tell the difference between "Suggested Friends" that your other Facebook pals are recommending, and actual people who are asking to be your friends (known as "Friend Requests"). So, to be clear: Suggested Friends are at the top of your pending Friend request page and Friend Requests are on the bottom half. Make sure you read the headers (each begins with "You have __number friend...") on each of those sections clearly. It's not the end of the world, of course, but do you really want to be one of those folks who invites random strangers to be your friend?
