Silencing Your Facebook Newsstream

This morning a train buddy complained to me about how he wishes that he could silence a number of his "friends" on Facebook, so I figured that I would tell him and all of you how to quickly do that.

So when a "friend" posts something you don't want to see, simply click on the drop down to the right of the post and select "Hide". This will hide that post.

Once its hidden, you can can control all of the posts made by this individual by checking off individual post types or selecting "All Updates" for total silence. And Yes, you can always "unfriend" them.
