Don’t drop your FaceBook Friends.. just filter them out, easy and they don’t know!

There’s been a few friends status updates I’ve seen lately that are ‘cleaning up’ their Facebook to only include people that they talk to regularly, care about, stalk.. you know.. that sort of thing. I think the reason for this is the amount of updates some people put in, and the application updates that are useless and most don’t care about, and the odd person that likes to post about every single thing they are doing at every single moment.. seriously.. what the hell?

Anyhow.. just want to show you how to easily get the updates from the friends that you want, it’s really easy with a friends list.

If you take a look at the top right hand side, you’ll notice that most people have ‘News Feed’ as their top choice.. Did you know you can re-order this?

For example: this is what most people have (except for the 2 humane society lists I have of course):

But you can simply drag and drop whichever list you want to the top, and when you login, that’s all you’ll see… so for example, I have a list of all my family members.. and if I wanted to just see their updates when I log in, I dragged that list to the top and now when I login from any computer, it’s the Family list updates which I see first.

So take a few minutes and make a list of all the ‘interesting’ friends you have or maybe just make a list of all your friends and remove some of them from that list, and drag it to the top.. they have no idea you don’t want their updates.. you don’t remove them from your Facebook.. and everyone is happy.. I mean.. who knows when you’re going to need to talk to the comic book collecting physcopath you never talked to in high school?

Add this to the post I created to hide the application updates.. and your Facebook experience just got a lot better
