1. Turn your profile pic into an emoji you can use in chat.
Type your username sandwiched between
double brackets (like this: [[zuck]]) and enter it into chat to send
your personalized emoji.
2. Share something with all of your friends except one person.
Facebook
Select “custom” in the “who to share
this with” tab, then enter the name of the person you don’t want to see
the post. Simple as that!
3. Clean up your News Feed in just a couple minutes.
Facebook
Click here
while logged in to Facebook and you will be taken to a page full of
friends you haven’t interacted with in a while. Click all of the ones
you want to see less in your News Feed.
4. Hide your online status on chat from people you don’t feel like talking to.

Facebook has integrated its “lists”
feature with chat, so you can make lists of people to whom you do and
don’t want to appear online. Learn how here.
5. Search “randos at [the name of your workplace]” to access a list of co-workers you’re not friends with.

6. Back up and download all of your photos plus other people’s photos you’re tagged in.
Download the Pick&Zip app here.
7. Find out what the best time is for you to post.
Statigram
analyzes your Instragram history to determine the exact time of day
when your photos are most likely to receive the most attention. It also
compiles other interesting data like your average number of likes and
comments per photo.
8. Take photos without posting them.

If you put your camera on airplane
mode any Instagrams you take will be saved to your photo roll but not
posted. Some people use this to double filter their photos. Learn more here.
9. Bust your friends for lying when they tag a photo #nofilter.
All you have to do is put the link of a suspicious Instagram photo into Filter Fakers to find out if they used an Instagram filter.
11. Make as many secret boards as you like.
Traditionally Pinterest only allowed
three secret boards per user, but that was quietly changed last month to
allow users unlimited secret boards.
12. Highlight text on something before hitting “Pin It” and the highlighted text will automatically appear in the description box.

This will save a lot of time when you’re pinning many things in a row.
14. View someone’s profile anonymously.
Go to “Account & Settings” on the
top right, then “Privacy & Settings.” Under “Privacy Controls” is
this option: “Select what others see when you’ve viewed their profile.”
If you click it, the above pop-up window will appear. Select the “You
will be totally anonymous option” and no one will see when you view
their profile! This will limit your ability to see who visits your
profile, but you can always change it back to normal when you’re done
being anonymous.
15. If you have the LinkedIn app you can search anonymously AND still see who looks at your profile.
Just add the “Who’s Viewed Your Profile” shortcut on the mobile app.
16. Learn who doesn’t follow you back.
Sign up for Friend or Follow here, which can also tell you about your followers on Instagram and Tumblr.
17. Find out who does — or doesn’t — follow one another.
Not sure if a couple is still dating (or if friends had a falling out)? Plug their handles into Doesfollow
to see the status of their relationship. Prepare yourself for moments
like: “Whoa! She unfollowed him! They’re totally splitsville!”
18. Download an archive of every tweet you’ve ever made.

Just go to Settings and scroll down to where it says “request your archive.”
19. Create lists for people whose tweets you don’t want to miss.

The more people you follow, the
easier it is to miss tweets from your favorite tweeps, but that’s not a
problem if you create a list for them. Lists are also great for keeping
tabs on people you don’t want to give the satisfaction of a follow
(i.e., enemies and exes).
21. You can also search “Wi-Fi password” to gain access to free Wi-Fi around you.
