Federico: Glad you like the way I've set Planet SUSE up for hiding feeds. It's only fair that I pass the credit on to where it belongs which is to Facebook.

The old version of Facebook had very handy little 'x' icons next to items in your news feed which made it very clear that that was how you knocked off those items (and also adjusted the weightings of different types of stories) and I just nicked the idea.

Sadly, by trying to introduce more user-level control, this has been replaced with a drop-down menu of 'Options' which I've already lost interest in. Perhaps the designers of Facebook could take a leaf out of GNOME's design principles.
