s/o: Facebook updates you like

[Naranjadia]

This is just a spin-off on the "Facebook posts you don't like." What do you like?

I like:
-links to articles I wouldn't have noticed
-news relating to my hometown from people still there
-updates on events where we live - ie. restaurant opened, etc.
-people's gut reactions, exclamations, etc - if "original"
-anecdotes about family members/friends
-questions people want help with/opinions on
-photos - if not too many

I like to see what's going on in people's lives, so anything that's a real status update is good.

I like photos, but prefer them a few at a time.

I like the updates that end up in an online "conversation," because most of my FB friends are people I rarely see IRL.

I like prayer requests and other requests where I can actually do something to help (Like the friend who had surgery, and I could bring food.)

I don't mind political or religious updates, even from people who don't share my views, because they help me see things from a different perspective.

links to articles I wouldn't have seen otherwise
little milestones in faraway friends' lives or their kids' lives
and sometimes momentary updates: one of my recent favs is from an old HS buddy: "It's amazing what can be accomplished with Play-doh, a salad spinner, and an distracted dad." By the dad:p

While some may not appreciate the humor, one of my friends has been posting a series of puns. Some are quite clever, some are atrocious. Some have made me laugh out loud, others have made me groan, but I find them all entertaining. :D

Today's post was "Let the punishment begin again. 6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering."

Ones that are witty and clever and actually interesting, and ones that start a conversation.

I ask myself before I post, "would someone else find this interesting? entertaining? funny? worth re-posting? worth commenting on?

Now I don't always stick to that and was guilty yesterday of posting, "the day flew by!" but I try to stay away from the general or mundane.

And even though my annoying post person has the risque photos, alot of his posts are hilarious. His latest:
---------
this just in: the cast of "Wicked" is performing at Equinox (SF) on Tuesday night. Who wants to go with me? I dont care about wicked, but there will be alcohol!
-------
I like funny, anecdotal, well-written, photos or that contain links to funny informational stories.

I like links to interesting articles, local info and making plans with groups of friends.

I also like discussing political stuff with the FB friends I know I agree with. I have a filter set up for this so my conservative buddies don't have to see all my political stuff.

Whoa! How'd you do that? I would love to be able to do that.

Create groups of friends (sorry I don't remember the exact directions here, but I think it is somewhere in "settings"), then when you post a status update you can select which group you would like to be able to view the post. This is pretty new, FB has not always has this option.

Currently, any and all photos of my nephew are my favorite updates.

He's so cute!!!!

I love the baby/kiddie pics and most kid-related updates. I'm not crazy about the brag ones but generally like what's going on with my mom friends and their kids!

[Cheburashka]

Links to articles or things I wouldn't have found otherwise are my favorites, especially when it starts a discussion in the comments. Pictures are nice too, as are videos. A friend of mine posted an underwater video he took from a Florida vacation, it was awesome.

[SnuggleBuggles]

Ones that actually gives me a glimpse into their lives. I like those better than impersonal trivia.

Pictures.
