Ditto. This should be an option on the poll. Every time I log on I see tons of useless, inane comments from people I barely know and I quickly leave again. I mainly have an account so people know I exist (ie. it's almost a social faux pas not to have one.)
Logging on is like flicking quickly past a TV channel that is aimed those who watch reality tv. No thanks.
I wasn't much of a Facebook user before joining the company, and using the site more frequently definitely made it obvious that a) I had been missing out on some useful news and b) I was wasting a lot of time on "friends" I didn't really care much about (not only reading time, but being angry that those people were behaving in a way that would lead me to leave in real life). Once the new subscription and friends list stuff was in internal testing, I spent 30ish minutes cleaning things up (including just unfriending people), and now my news feed sucks a lot less. Well, it did before I subscribed to tech journalists. Another cleanup awaits...
