Facebook clutter
11 years ago
I have been cleaning up my News Feed string on Facebook.
It is unbelievable how many "things" come traveling down the News Feed time line. Ads, posts, things I never heard about claim a spot among friends who communicate daily with photos and little tidbits of news.
I don't have time for those extras coming down the pike. However, Facebook makes it purposely difficult to take something out, rather they encourage links to links to links, and before you know it, your own page is filled with ...
Okay, there is a tiny hook - barely visible - at the upper right hand corner of every post, and click on that, and a tiny window has the option to HIDE that particular post.
So, I went through like with a lawn mower and hided out the superfluous posts and left only my friends' news standing.
And the notations read:
This story is now hidden from your news feed. Unhide.
Well, better than nothing. Facebook is kind of hard to control.
