			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things recently talked about in our Facebook class is the news feed.  The consensus was that its an Ace in the hole for Facebook. I&#8217;m not going to argue with that, but how much is too much?  Sure, I&#8217;m glad that Facebook gives you the ability to control what shows up where on mini feeds and news feeds, but I am beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed with all this &#8220;control.&#8221;  </p>
<p>One of Facebook&#8217;s strengths (atleast in my mind) is the UI.  Its clean, simple and attractive.  reading the information relativ to your network is easy and the format is great.  Now I feel like I have to defend myself from so much information so I can still make out the important stuff.</p>
<p>With the news feed being opened to Apps, and now the feature <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/02/ok-heres-at-least-part-of-what-facebook-is-announcing-on-tuesday/">Project Beacon</a> which includes products your friends have purchased from partner sites in your feed, The clean interface might be a thing of yesteryear.</p>
<p>Could Microsoft be rubbing off on Facebook already?  Check this video out to see the a possible evolution of Facebook.  Replace &#8220;iPod&#8221; with &#8220;Facebook&#8221;</p>
