If you are not the kind of person who likes to get information overload on his/her wall, then this post is for you. Facebook has evolved over years and so has our friend list. The more people we add, the more our wall gets cluttered. Half of the wall is cluttered by application posts like X answered a question about you, "click here to unlock" that are a BIG waste. It wastes a lot of time without any productivity. Here I'll suggest a few ways you can optimise Facebook to get more useful information.
Prevent unwanted application from posting to your wall.
1. Apps rule? Block them! - Your wall consists of 75% useless application posts. To get more information on your wall than these posts, click on the 'close' button on the top-right corner of the post and select Hide All by app_name. This will hide posts from that application forever and make space for your dear friends' posts.
Remove unwanted applications from your profile
2. Remove spammy/unwanted apps - If you ever saw yourself/your friend posting some crap on everone's profile then it's probably spam. To prevent repeating this fiasco with yourself, remove unwanted applications regularly from your profile. Go toAccount -> Privacy Settings -> Edit your settings for using apps, games and websites. In the Apps you use column, click Editsettings. In the list of apps that appears, click on the close button on the right of every application you want to remove. This will lessen your chances of posting spam.
3. Remove wall clutter, use Better Facebook - No, i'm not joknig. Better Facebook is a Mozilla Firefox/Google Chrome/Opera/Safari add-on (even available as a greasemonkey script). Install and customise it according to your needs. After configuring it, you see you wall gets a bit empty. :P
So here were a few ways to optimise Facebook and get your juice of of it. Have fun.
