How to clean up your Facebook account

Piled up a great number of friends on Facebook? Maybe you've turned your news feeds into one big mess... Here's how to clean up that shit.

As Mashable points out, Facebook offers an extensive list of options for fine tuning what individual applications and people can see or do on your Facebook profile (something which is missing on Twitter, I think).

You can hide people or things from your feeds. How? By simply clicking 'Hide' on items you don't want to see. You can bring the back via Options where you will find a list of all the things you've hidden.

Facebook is a place for friends, but admit it: only a small percentage of our Facebook friends are personal friends. You've also got alot of acquaintances, people from school or work or just people you don't know in your list. Facebook lets you organize all those 'categories' of friends into 'Friend Lists'.

All this doesn't rid you from all the annoying apps your friends are using. For example, if you're not interested in Farmville you don't want to see how your friends' crops are doing.
Change your 'Application Settings' (via 'Account') by looking what apps you've 'Authorized' (via 'Show'). You'll be amazed by the list you've accumulated over the years.
