..... Twitter: A more annoying version of FB--- I never bother with twitter, since every TwitI have ever read is pointless. Seriously, why do I want to know every action or philosophic notion, some one has ?

I wouldn't say FB is better. On Twitter you read people's philiosophical notions. On FB, you get to see what they ate for breakfast, every pub they visit, every article they read (but you can't read it unless you sign up through FB), every game they play - often much of it automated rather than typed by them, so it generates vast amounts of noise to signal.

Years ago people would criticise places like Livejournal as places where people posted about what they ate for breakfast. I don't think they did, but still - if today, I saw "Ate breakfast [Get the new Breakfast App so people see when you have breakfast!]", it would be one of the more interesting things on FB.

Oh, and in response to the OP, FB already has a system where it decides only to show you the most "important" things. Whether you like it or not.

uhh..I don't know who ur friends with on FB that you don't see the same crap on twitter, but if someone's posting about their breakfast/pub vists/articles read, chances are their doing the same bullshit on w/e service their using. at the end of the day, it's not the service at fault, it's the users whom feel it's ok to broadcast that level of information.

Actually, it's not the user's fault either. Not all of us are angry, grumpy, anti-social, trolls, and don't mind humoring each other about mundane things. Normal people talk about normal everyday things in real life, and they'll talk about them on any other form of communication too.
