I like Facebook just as much as the next guy. But do I really need to know that you fertilized your friend's farm in Farmville or that you iced Tony Thumbs in Mafia Wars? I'm sure I'm not alone in being annoyed by the Farmville and Mafia Wars status updates in my news feed. Luckily there is an easy way to block them:
- Log on to Facebook and you should see your News Feed or Live News Feed. If not, click on "News Feed" on the left-side navigation bar.
- Scroll down to look for a status update about your friend finding a scared turkey in Farmville or some Mafia Wars news.
- Put your mouse in the area of the status update and click the "Hide" button that appears in the upper right corner of the update. That's it!
This works on any Facebook application that annoys you: Farmville, Mafia Wars, MindJolt Games, Kidnap!, Pieces of Flair, etc. (Please keep in mind that your friends aren't being annoying, it's all the Farmville/Mafia Wars status updates which they have no control over that are annoying.)
Ahhh, that's much better. Now I can have an uncluttered view about what you had for breakfast.
