This criticism is spot on, but it's not FB's fault. Look, if you have >800 "friends", chances are you will get many less than interesting status updates, that is true for any social medium. You can of course hide people, but I've found that the cost of miss is much larger than the cost of false alarm, e.g. I can quickly filter, maybe 20 status updates per minute to judge their level of relevance. However, even people who post "inane" updates sometimes post interesting stuff. Now, one interesting thing that FB doesn't have is a "best-of-today" display of all public updates, that can be voted up or down by all users. This would be an incentive to post interesting updates. What do you think?
