I like how quick it feels and that it looks very clean. I'm curious to see how well it will work with much more data. Right now, the region filter doesn't seem to work. For example, if I click on iOS and San Francisco, I still see

An app using Facebook's API cannot delete objects not created by itself (e.g. cannot delete posts or photos). So either this requires you install a browser extension or it's fake.
