A lot of people can't help answering quizzes on Facebook. Heck, some people on my Friends list do nothing there but answer every single one. I, for one, answered some of them, but I vowed not to do it anymore since it doesn't really add substance to the activity stream of my news feed. I really can't blame them, and neither should you, because there may be a quiz in there that would really pique your interest and intrigue to the brink of insanity if you didn't even think about trying to answer the question "what would the result be?" However, for some people, it sometimes gets too annoying to see results of quizzes that are simply juvenile and mediocre. Sure you can "Hide" whatever you want to hide from your News Feed, but it becomes a chore that you may not be enjoying the experience anymore. Further more, Facebook, with all its bells and whistles, aren't really transparent with all the changes and improvements they somehow implement without notice. One of which is the Filter list. The filter list is the one on the left side, as shown below. By default, the first item on the list is the News Feed. This filter lists the activity stream of your friends, whether they posted a note, uploaded a picture, answered a quiz, or simply updated their status. This filter can sometimes get too noisy, what with all the quizzes your friends answered, videos they linked to, etc. For those who just want the status updates of their friends, simply drag and drop the filter for Status Updates to the top of the Filter list. Whenever you open your Facebook home page, it will display ONLY your friends' Status Updates. If you prefer to see notes, videos, or photos posted by your friends, simply drag and drop the filter apropos to what you want to see. Hey, I used the word apropos appropriately. I think. Essentially, whatever is on top of the Filter list will be displayed by default whenever you open up your Facebook home page. You can further explore Facebook's filtering system by creating custom filters, but it is quite limited to what you can actually filter, meaning you can only filter WHO will appear on your activity stream. For now. What do you do to prevent information overload?
