Yes, I agree this is what we should be working towards. I use Facebook's 'starred friend' feature and that's helped a lot to filtering which updates I want to see. It's still not nearly custom enough though - it would be nice if I could rank 'event types' and 'friend-to-friend connection strength' myself to help the filtering a lot more. I always feel as if the automatic filtering in Top News is too general (i.e. based on update views/number of replies), instead of being specific to me.
