Facebook&#x27;s editorial control of users&#x27; posting is the natural consequence of you having way too many people in your circle of friends. Average FB user has how many - 100 friends? 500 friends? If Facebook showed you all updates from everyone, as well as the large mass of fanpages you&#x27;ve subscribed to, you&#x27;d drown in the noise.<p>The point being, any usable social network will have to filter user postings.
