Profile Mini-Feed Filtering Proves Misleading

Jason Kincaid posted an interesting article on Techcrunch about how clicking the “X” in your mini-feed next to individual stories doesn’t actually remove the story from your friends’ newsfeeds. This is news to me and it is also news to a number of active developer forum participants.

Much of the debate surrounds the phrasing of the mini-feed warning statement. It states “Hiding will remove the story from your Mini-Feed and prevent anyone from seeing it.” Stating “anyone from seeing it” implies that nobody will be able to see it at all.
