#1. The FISHING FOR A COMPLIMENT Update

EXAMPLES:

"Jane Smith's pants are fitting better!"
"Delia Jose got all As this semester!"
"Joseph Angel got the job in NYC!"

What is Facebook if not a place to give each other pats on the back? And nothing invites a virtual "you go girl" better than a good old-fashioned compliment hook. Nobody writes these things just to keep people up-to-date. No, Fishing For A Compliment updates are specifically meant for gleaning responses.

Not only will people start commenting about how proud they are of you, but when you write about how great you are, it's a good way to rub it in the face of all your exes and former BFFs that have snubbed you or thought you couldn't do it.

Got a good example? Post in the Comments section.
