I believe the next big thing that will lure users away from facebook will be one that you can be more selective more easily what posts you see from what people and pages and what posts other people see from you.Myspace had the beginnings of that feature, allowing you put people into lists and take for a position to go out to simply the masses on that list, but it wasn't nearly as comprehensive or as user friendly as it could have been.
acebook doesn't accept it at all.They let you build lists, but don't let you do anything with them.They let you take if each post is going to be totally public or just friends or friends of friends, but that's not specific enough, especially for masses with big friends lists and who have "liked" a lot of pages.
If you could pick to just broadcast the form of off-color joke to your buddies and not to your co-workers and your grandmother, it would be fun. It would be nice if you could pick to merely send your political commentary or movie reviews to the folk you knew were concerned in them,I have several friends who are Really into some things that they carry virtually all the meter and I wish to stay connected with them and not choose "hide" because the posts that aren't about their niche obsession are something I even wish to see. And there are folks I share a peculiar concern with, but don't like too often for their former posts.Like if you play roller derby, you get folks that are roller derby players on your number that you wish the derby posts, but don't want the posts about what cute thing their kid did today.If I could distinguish a box and strain my feed so that I could opt in or opt out of their particular interest posts or general posts that would be great.I love my aunt, but I'm sure she doesn't like to see theheavy metal videos I carry and I don't like how often she loved "Eat, Pray, Love" or wants to endorse every conservative movement on "causes".I have some high school classmates that have moved by that I wishd reconnecting with and would like to recognize the highlights of their lives, but I don't want to acknowledge the details.I wish to know when they give a baby, but I don't want to recognize where they had dinner in a city that I will never visit.I like updates from my favorite bands when they post new material, when they post tour dates, etc, but don't always want the daily update.
