Facebook is touting Facebook Home as a "visually rich stream of media," but all it's going to turn out to be is a feed of filtered food and memes.
That seems like an over-reaction. My friends posting stupid memes on facebook has little bearing to my friendship to them.
Pretty sure you meant to say "My friends on facebook have little bearing to my friendship to them."
Regardless, the rest of that sentence is:
> or if you should begin using the tools FB already provides to control the content in your feed.
This is unfair, you responded to someone who was saying "If you want a higher quality stream, then curate more aggressively using the tools available to you"
And I feel like you ignored the meat of his post to make a cheap shot on the idea of "losing friends over memes". That wasn't his point, and I think you knew that. The tools he mentions allow you to control what appears in your feed without unfriending.
> you should reconsider if you want to be friends with them, OR if you should begin using the tools FB already provides
So if we get technical about it, he presents two options: Curate more aggressively or reconsider whether you want to be friends with them. Maybe he meant that tongue-in-cheek, but at least when I first read it it sounded like he said you should either use facebook's tools or rethink your actual friendship with that person.
Is this sufficient? What I want in my feed is likely very different then what I'd want on my phone's homescreen. Now you're getting into google circles territory and I'm not sure that level of curation really works well.
The original point is still valid if its "There's a lot of crap in my feed that I'm okay with that I won't want on my phone's homescreen".
To be expected, but you're right, it is going to look totally different and spammy in someone's hands.
