About the clutter.  *PROPNAME* and I are playing Farmville.  This generates messages on Facebook, messages that are of no interest to anyone not playing.  To stop seeing this clutter, follow these steps: point your mouse at one of the offending items.  The word "hide appears in the upper right.  Click the word "hide".  Additional options appear.  Click "Hide Farmville." You still we see any of our other items.
