You can follow the instructions below that were given to me by Papa Roux on Facebook. He operates a cajun restaurant here in Indianapolis, but he’s serving up more than great food with this tip.

If it’s not enough reason jus because they’re annoying, here’s an article from PC World about the other reason these quizzes are doing more than just giving you a bit of an insight to your friends on Facebook. There is a cost with The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes.

What he shares isn’t too complex but it’s also not as immediately obvious as you would expect either.

If you look at your Facebook homepage you’ll see sets of small buttons that are the different types of updates you’ll see in your updates main page.

On the left-hand side you’ll see something similar to what appears on my sidebar. I’ve got a lot of groups specified, but you get the idea.

Just click and drag the items to the top of the list you are most interested in seeing in your stream. I prefer Status Updates, and photos and Links.

My least preferred item at the moment are all those quizzes, which appear as part of the news feed updates. I’ve moved this to the bottom of my list. So far it’s helped bury those quizzes out of view even more.

If you’ve got more tips on how to get rid of what you don’t want on you Facebook stream, be sure and let us know in the comments.
