I've just discovered the preferences for the facebook minifeed it's actually very good. I am testing it. Rating people and tagging them would be very good too.

I have discovered several severe holes in the site that should have been caught by
Quality Assurance, but somehow have slipped through and remain on the site.
These are not security holes, but holes that are liable to
slowly erode the face of facebook and dissolve confidence in the product by
many members and most hurtful, non-members.
In the invite feature of fb, I accidentally accepted the fb
feature to invite every single person that I have every emailed, CCed, or BCed
in my entire life from Gmail. (hmm, a warning message would have been nice,
once clicked, surely I would not have wanted to do that.)
Once clicked, I immediately realized my mistake. After the initial
embarrassment of inviting my whole world, I got over it as "oh well, my
mistake."
However, no daily email spam is sent out to these contacts, harassing
that they join! Many unpleasant folks have contacted me and are very irritated
at me and fb!
I found a way in fb to remove all of these accidental
invites, but it conveniently doesn't seem to work correctly.
The following process/path I used and the error that I was
confronted with:
facebook > friends > invite friends > View all
invitations > Select: Not Yet Joined
:: Popup Delete Entries? "Are you sure you want to delete these 100
entries from your Invitation History?" Delete
Oops!
"Something went wrong. We're working on getting this
fixed as soon as we can. You may be able to try again." OK
Could somebody else or a team of people, try hard to
improve this site with very simple enhancements?
Update: fb requires you delete these invites one by one. Deleted.
However, here it is a week later and the weekly fb spam has been sent
out to all of the formerly invited contacts again!!! What a joke!
Horrible business practice!!
