Thanks for the summary. Obviously, given the near six billion dollars they made, they know what they're doing. But.... This doesn't fix anything currently making Facebook suck. It makes it noisier. My solution would be a tagging system. People can add tags (that don't even need to be shown by default), and other friends' feeds can be filtered by the tags. For instance: This is a baby pic? Tag it as baby. In my feed, I will never need to see another baby again. Other people don't like politics or football. They can get tagged as such, and ignored by those who don't like those topics. This would absolutely positively fix Facebook for me. They are smart enough to make it work. No more babies PLEASE!!!

Given how YouTube's tagging system eventually ended up working , and twitters current one I suspect tags won't function like you envision #reply #hn #hackers #yc #apple #eatingdinner

  Image recognition, language processing might be a good fit here. I imagine it's on their radar considering all their interest in AI.

  The key words in my post were that the friends tag them, and the tags are not seen by default. After a certain number of "categories" are added, they wouldn't need any more. It'd be a messy solution for Facebook but an awesome and nonintrusive solution for annoyed users once it's working.

  Not hashtags!!!! More like "categories" that are also added by friends
