12 things you didn't know you could do with Facebook
Managing its growing sea of features can be daunting, but there are ways to make the social network more to your liking.
Here are 12 tips and ideas:
1. Reduce notifications
You can't get rid of all notifications on Facebook's website. But you can disable a lot of them.
Go into your Settings, and click on Notifications. Once you're there, adjust the alerts you want to get on your computer and your phone.

Breakng News: Messi drops out of Forbes top 10 most valuable athletes list
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is no longer among the top 10 most valuable athletes in the world, according to American finance publication Forbes.
Messi previously occupied ninth position in 2014 with an estimated worth of $12 million - a drop of one million from the previous year - but does not feature at all in the athletes' top 10 for 2015.
Rory McIlroy and Floyd Mayweather Jr instead enter the top 10 with the undefeated boxing champion having signed several lucrative endorsements before his July fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Statistics not enough for Benitez at Real Madrid
Real Madrid were in a delicate situation against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. Despite a list of absences through injury, the Spanish side played perhaps their best match since Rafa Benitez took over from Carlo Ancelotti in the summer. But, despite the performance, there were no goals and there was no win.
A little over two months into his tenure, Benitez has yet to lose a match but his team's performances have hardly made Madrid fans - or anyone else - fall in love with this team. The players, it seems, are still struggling to adapt to his concepts, to their new positions and to tactical formations.
The difficulties in adapting are nothing new, of course. Like Benitez, Jose Mourinho failed to win his first fixture as Madrid boss, while it took Ancelotti a full six months to get the best out of Angel Di Maria, for example.
Messi: I don't compete with Ronaldo & he doesn't compete with me
Barcelona star Lionel Messi insists he doesn’t see himself as being in competition with Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo despite the constant comparisons that exist between the pair.
As individuals, Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the game for the best part of the last decade, with the last seven Ballon d’Ors won by one of the two.
That’s expected to become eight in January, with Messi tipped to win it back from Ronaldo, who has won it for the last two years.

Messi is Barcelona’s best ever - but is Ronaldo Madrid’s all-time greatest?
Cristiano Ronaldo is now officially the greatest goalscorer in the history of Real Madrid. The Portuguese forward scored after just half an hour against Levante on Saturday to surpass Raul's record of 323 goals for los Blancos. But is he the greatest player to ever represent the club?
Over at Barcelona, there is no such debate about Lionel Messi. When Madrid coach Rafa Benitez surprisingly said recently that Ronaldo was not necessarily the best he had coached, eyebrows were raised. Asked the same question about Messi the following day, Barca boss Luis Enrique had no doubt. "I don't like to compare them," he said. "But Messi is the best in the world and the best in history. That's my opinion."
It is the opinion of many. Yet while the Argentine attacker is often described as the best player to ever grace the game, few have dubbed Ronaldo the finest footballer in history. One notable exception is Jorge Mendes, but he is Cristiano's agent and personal friend, bigging up his prized asset whenever he has the chance.
