Beating the Facebook Algorithm

Facebook algorithm

Like a billion other people, I’m on Facebook a lot. And I take note of the posts that get hundreds of likes. Wedding and anniversary photos are a no brainer, as are pictures of the kids. Not having access to any of that, I tried a different tack to tap into some of that Facebook love. Today, I posted a smiling photo of me and my best friend of 40 years. He’s the closest thing I have to soulmate, and it made me happy to advance the social media value of friendship. It’s trending well!!
