I don't use Facebook often, but when I was browsing the site the other
day, I stumbled across a small but very useful new feature. Earlier this
year, Facebook introduced a new Trending section in the right-hand
column. which lets you know which news stories are provoking the most
Facebook posts.
While the section previously listed a few top stories
that by and large I had no interest in. it now lets you choose from five
different categories - All News, Politics, ‘Science and Technology’,
Sport and Entertainment. which I find are much more useful.
If a particular story doesn’t interest you, then click the ‘x’ symbol
next to it to hide it (see screenshot below left). Next, select from the
options the reason why you want to hide it - these include ‘I don’t
care about this‘ and ‘I want to see something else’. Facebook then
remembers your selection to customise content to your tastes. I've
noticed that since I started doing this, the stories in the Trending
section are much more relevant to my interests.
