Some Facebook Questions

[Joe]

I am sure these will sound like dumb questions, but here goes.

Back in 2009, I "liked" the Facebook page of a particular organization, and "friended" the page/organization.

Things have changed, and I feel I need to reverse or undo these actions.

How do I "undo" a Facebook "like"?

How do I "undo" a "friending" on Facebook?

Navigate to the "liked" page. There will be a button sort of on the middle-right of the page right under the cover photo that says "liked." You just need to click on that and some options come up, including "unlike this page."

Pretty much the same process for unfriending someone.

Thanks for the pointers. I managed to "unfriend" and undo the like-thingie, but I should have written down exactly how I did it, since I'm not sure I could reproduce what I did.

Sorry but this made me chuckle. I can't tell you how many times I've figured out how to do something once and then not been able to do it again.

I am seeing more and more Facebook postings that say "Mary Smith via Janet Jones." What is all this "via" stuff all about?

I think it means that whatever Mary Smith just posted was taken or "shared" from Janet Jones' page. Not sure why it says via when most of the time it will say shared. Maybe there is a difference I'm not aware of.

Thanks for the info.

I asked a friend who did a "via" post from Karla what "via" meant in this context. He replied:

It means I got it from her page. It’s still there. But perhaps she has made some parts of her page not visible to people who she hasn’t “friended.” Are you a “friend” of hers?

So, since I am not a FB "friend" of Karla, I could not see what she had posted on the topic (illegal to feed the homeless).
