I believe Facebook already does that, try toggling "Top news" and "Most recent" to see it.
I've been thinking about adding something like this to http://friendbinder.com http://friendbinder.com for a while now, though it's quite hard to get the filtering right to pick out the best stuff (I don't think just filtering the latest update is good enough).
- krosaen 16y agoyeah, facebook actually does a pretty good job of this, and so did friendfeed before fb acquired them; I wonder if the friendfeed guys helped improve it. but as for twitter, I agree completely with the author's assessment
- daralthus 16y agoSome time ago I was thinking about a UI design where "top" and "most recent" news are on the same timeline where you could zoom in to see more and more updates until you see every little update or zoom out where you could only see the most interesting ones. What do you think?
- philipkd 16y agoYeah, somehow Facebook's fuzzy "Top News" system is the best out of the ones I've seen. Unfortunately you still get the loud-friend problem, and muting people requires a lot of thought (and it's not exportable to other clients). Plus, what does "Top News" even mean? As a programmer, I want to know what sorting method is used most of the time, and so it's a slight annoyance to just trust the Facebook to prioritize everything for me. I'm signing up to friendbinder now, though, and I'd be happy to brainstorm with you.
