Don't Bring Me No Bad (Irrelevant) News

   All news is not good news and all good news is relevant news. The hub of our APSense Business Social Network is the "News Feed" or "Network Feed". Within that APSense "Network Feed" is relevant news and useful information about members articles, Rev Pages, comments, ezines and posts. Also relevant news about members activities in the various APSense Add On services appropriately appears in the "News Feed". However, in my opinion, there is too much irrelevant news and useless information taking up much time and space in the APSense 'News Feed"or "Network Feed".
   One example of this is "Viewed A Profile". At any given time nearly two thirds of the "News Feed" is taken up by" who's looking at who's profile". I do think it is relevant to me who is viewing my profile and our APSense Homepage provides us that information at the bottom of the left sidebar, " Who Visited Me". I frankly don't "give a hoot" about "who's looking at who's profile" in the APSense "News Feed" because it is irrelevant to me. Another example is "Completed Today's Missions" and how many credits were earned. In my opinion, that is time and space taken up in the "News Feed" that is providing irrelevant news and useless information for the serious marketers and business people here on APSense. Another example is the "update" notifications in the" News Feed". I have never once flew to some member's profile or Business Center simply because I was notified of their updates to their profiles, Business Centers or whatever.
  Along with our APSense "Network Feed" we have our APSense "Group Feed", another very important hub in the APSense Business Social Network. However the same group discussions appear in both feeds, which is redundant. Group discussions should appear in the 'Group Feed" not the "News Feed", in my opinion.
  The point I am trying to make with this article is that possibly the APSense News feed can be "cleaned up" by only having relevant news in the 'Network Feed", providing ample time and space in the "News Feed" for what is really important to the serious marketers and business people here in this wonderful business social network, APSense. Just don't bring me no bad (irrelevant) news!
