Facebook Adds Hide Application Button To Homepage

As expected, Facebook has just launched an updated version of their feed filters which enables you to stop viewing stories from individual applications. For example in the image to the left, you can choose to block out the Google Reader application from your feed. What I’m not sure about is whether or not hiding an application is just for that individual person for for all instances of that application.

Just yesterday I wrote about how granular feed filters are the future of Facebook’s news feed and this appears to be a step in that direction.
