Good tips. I am testing a new Facebook app that actually simplifies and walks you through your privacy settings and what they mean. The review will appear on { Link } as usual

You can hide apps from your news feed. If you hover over any post in your news feed, you'll see the word 'Hide' appear to the right. Click 'Hide' and you will see options to hide the user or the application from your feed.
