Take Me to the Other Side...


Did you know that Facebook has an abyss where messages from non-friends are banished? 

This wasteland of sorts is called the “other” folder. 

Imagine my surprise when I discovered (about a year ago or longer) 12 messages from people trying to get in contact with me.  These messages were hidden in a land called “Other”.  Most of these messages were from people asking if I was so-and-so that they knew from long ago, but sadly, one of the messages was from the sister of a friend telling me that my friend had passed…I did not get the message until 2 months after it had happened.

How do you find this Facebook purgatory so you can avoid missing important news?
If you are on a PC, go to your news feed.  Then click once on the word “messages”.  This will create a drop down where—VOILA—the “Other” folder appears.   Open it up and discover what you too have been missing!

**Just a side note:  I am not quite sure how to or even if you can access this from your mobile.  Hopefully someone will come along to help answer that enigma**
