I got a request today to "privately" connect with a friend on Facebook, someone that has a privacy issue regarding "like-ing" and "comment-ing" on things and having other people know what he likes or comments about. One advice I have is that he should leave Facebook, because he is delusional if he thinks that anything on the web can stay private -- ever seen that wayback machine? So, don't say/post anything that may come back to bite you in the rear. Think of posts like tattoos. Easy to get, a b*tch to remove.
But his post suggested that there are some steps I can take to reduce the automatic nonsense updates I receive from some of my friends without their knowledge, that seem to bog-down my news feed. You see, if you do the following steps (until FB changes direction again), you may reduce the updates to things that matter to you.
Place your mouse over someone's name, but do not click. A window will appear. Now move the mouse on “FRIENDS" but do not click. Move your mouse down to "Settings" and click. A magical list will appear. Here you may remove checkmarks from things you do not care about, like games, or music, or video updates.
Neat.
