Facebook can be a great way to stay in touch with friends or reconnect with old ones. The only problem is, as your friends list grows, you're bound to start getting a plague of game notifications. So and so wants a something or another in Whateverville. Join your friend playing the newest Facebook game. Hey, somebody just played this in that! And soon you'll find your news feed is nothing more than a pile of game notifications with a random piece of actual news you want to read. Hey, let's face it, those can be hard enough to find without all these crazy notifications, right?
There are several methods you can use to block Facebook game messages, but some of them still let certain messages through. An example would be to turn off a friend's game notifications in your news feed (hover your mouse cursor over your friend's name, then hover over "Friends" button in the window that pops up, then click settings and uncheck "Games" from the list of your friend's activities that you'll be notified about.) This can help, but I've found that apps can get around them by posting directly to your wall about your friend's activity.
