You have hidden Facebook messages: See where you can find them
Have you wondered that scores from the weekend hardships never really wrote to you on Facebook, as promised? It can of course be many reasons, but there is also a likelihood that she / he has done and the message now is save in your second inbox.
For Facebook has made it a virtue to separate your friends and from your non-friends from each other. This means that most of the messages you get from non-friends who may be messages from scoring in the city or potential employers who will offer you your dream job, do not come into your normal inbox.
Fortunately, it is more than easy to find and read the "hidden" messages.
Out to the left under the posts, there is a subfolder named 'Other', and here pops mails and messages up from all that is not necessarily your Facebook friends, but may still be interesting reading.
How important these messages may be, the American journalist Elizabeth Weingarten a good example. She forgot his brand new Macbook Air in a taxi, and actually thought she would never see it again.
But only after a few months she discovers by chance the folder "Other" under the posts and see that someone has found her Macbook Air in the taxi and want to give it back to her. So check out the folder the next time you forget the expensive electronic cases.
However, the subdirectory created for a reason. That's where it tumbles into spam, invitations to all sorts of events and other emails / messages that you do not necessarily need to check out.
