I just returned from my tour of eastern Europe and noticed something new on Facebook.
Had I really been away that long?
As it turns out Facebook's news feedback function had only just been launched. I thought to myself, "finally, I can tailor my news feed to things that I care about, and stop getting feeds reporting on the fact the Sam Super-Poked Sally with a ninja fork".
I began to do some searching to see what people were saying about this enhancement. Much to my surprise there was not a whole lot of conversation going on in the blogosphere (or anywhere else). Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is Thanksgiving, or perhaps people just don't care. Either way I think that this is a step in the right direction for Facebook. As much as I love Facebook, there is a lot of irrelevant information and due to my ever growing social graph, I have more friends than I ever thought possible. It is essential for Facebook to continue to work on enhancements such as these to keep the experience of the site relevant.
