I’m happy to share when I can.

I’m looking forward to usernames because it will make people much simpler to find (instead of “search for me on Facebook,” you’ll say “my Facebook name is DavidJGarcia”). Facebook is looking forward to it because it’s SEO for their pages, which drives search traffic.

Good question. I should have covered this in the article.

When you put your mouse over an update on the “Home” page, the word “Hide” and a down arrow will appear in the upper-right corner of the update. Click it, and you’ll have the option to hide updates from that person or (if it applies) that application.

I use it all the time for applications, but I’m more hesitant to use it on friends. Of course, you can always still see their updates if you visit their profile.

Tell me more about the “hide friend” option (not for you;) I don’t want to reject a friend, but it’d be great not to see so much of the annoying type stuff.
