Many of the people I hang out with use Facebook. Not all know about a great way to stem the flow of messages coming into your stream…
Undoubtedly some of your Facebook friends who are not those you want to hear about every single day of the week. And likely, a few of your Facebook friends are not really friends – but you don’t want to “unfriend” them and cut them off forever.
All you have to do is hover your mouse over the right edge of their latest post. A little X will magically appear. You can choose to hide that individual post, hide all posts by that person or by application (like if they are always telling you of their latest Farmville triumph) – or if you really don’t like them, you can mark their post as spam.
I fault Facebook for not making this option more obvious. I thank them for the anonymity of that control.
