I don't know about being overwhelmed by the awesome; facebook tends to depress me. It keeps recommending that I "add friend" a friend of my friends who died in an accident a few months back, which is always a bit of a buzz-kill.
And that's when it's not just irritating me with the out-of-order feed. I mean, seriously, I'm a CS person and I understand getting performance gains by delivering potentially-wrong results, but given that I only get about 10 posts a week, seeing things off by 3-5 days in the sort order seems almost malicious.
- trustfundbaby 14y agoYou know you can sort your feed so its in descending chronological order right?
- conradfr 14y agoYou can but for some unknown reason (expired cookies ?) it gets reverted on a regular basis for me.
- monitron 14y agoI don't think that the non-chronological feed is an attempt to achieve performance gains. Instead Facebook is trying to sort things by interestingness (or in some cases, how much a user has paid to promote their post). I agree, though, that it's terribly annoying. Also please consider submitting the deceased person for 'memorialization,' which, if successful, should stop him from appearing in your People You May Know: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=305593649477238 http://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=305593649477238
- Trezoid 14y agoAssuming using the web version: click on "sort: top stories" at the top right just under the post button. Change it to most recent, problem solved. This doesn't seem to work correctly on iPhone though. Changing to top stories seems to get them in chronological order for some strange reason.
- codva 14y agoProblem solved - temporarily. On Android and the web, my preference for most recent stories changes itself back to top stories on a not infrequent basis.
- unicornporn 14y agoAnd it has been that way so long that I've started to doubt that it is just an unsolved bug.
- larsberg 14y agoThanks! Had no idea.
- clubhi 14y agoI always find it funny that the people I don't want to become friends with stay in my recommendation column. So I have to stare at their picture. I see other people here have a solution to this problem.
- Evbn 14y agoCan't you explicitly reject those with the a click?
- Evbn 14y agoI think you can reject the friend request once and it won't recur?
