Are you on Facebook? If not, none of this will make sense.
Anyway, it really irks me when someone sends me a friend request and then never says anything to me. I mean, it's not necessary to write 5000 words to tell me how you're doing or ask about my life or whatever, but a little something to say I'm not just a notch on your friend count belt is appreciated.
This is the sort of Facebook app we really need. No more stupid quizzes and games - I want a friend filter app. It only permits your updates to show on my wall if you and I have had a conversation using Facebook. It can be via status message comments, wall postings, private messages, whatever, but it has to occur before I see you in my news feed.
Another option is a badge for your profile that shows what percentage of your friends you've had a conversation with in the last month. Then a filter by percentage - if you're percentage is below, say, 50%, you get blocked from my news feed.
So, if you're a company out there looking to make a Facebook app to help build your brand, don't try to make one that does whatever your website does, only Facebookier. It will suck. Make one that's actually useful, and slap your logo on it.
Make a new List of people
Make a new List of people called "Real Friends" or something, then hit More on the left below News Feeds. Drag your list to the top above News Feeds and that will be the default filter to your news feeds page.
Not 100% intuitive but if I can figure it out you can.
I think I'll do that. But
I think I'll do that. But I'm going to call the group "People who say interesting things and don't take stupid quizzes all day".
Agreed, and it's also
Agreed, and it's also amazing how Facebook has single handedly made it so those who have sixty million friends (whom they most certainly do not know) is an irrefutable measure of their popularity. Also, you know facebook's poke feature? Well, I think facebook should give us the ability to 'kick' back. Just saying. :)
