Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Lately Facebook has been driving me crazy, my Feed was overflowing with all kinds of cool stuff, but so much of it that I missed a lot of people's status messages. And that's really why I am on Facebook, for the people. So I was pondering this on my lunch time walk, and realized that pretty much all of the stuff that I saw in Facebook was also coming from accounts I follow on Twitter.
Returning from lunch I set to figuring this out. And came to one important realization, the biggest thing that is missing from Facebook is a good way to organize and filter your feeds. You have two choices: see everything, or just those people you recently interacted with. But the second option doesn't seem to stop the feeds from page's you have 'liked'.
Thinking about I decided that since most of those Pages I liked that were cluttering up my feed fell into 2 groups: accounts I also follow on Twitter (redundant news) or I 'Liked' just once, but not because I wanted the constant news. Figuring that out it was easy to just start clicking on those posts I didn't want and setting them to hidden. Now I am much happier, I am seeing people on Facebook again, not a bunch of redundant news feeds or updates about things I really don't care about.
There you have it: if this issue drives you nuts about Facebook then the solution is simple, start hiding what you really don't want to see.
