How do I filter my Facebook news feed with the new layout? - Matt - 05-10-2013 09:58 PM
On the old Facebook layout, there was an option on the left of my home screen to choose to only display postings from individual apps, such as Cafe World. This option appears to have disappeared. Is there still a way to filter the news feed? Perhaps it just takes some getting used to, but currently I found Facebook's new interface to be a downgrade.

I agree. Much less user-friendly. Here's your answer from Facebook FAQ:
You can filter your News Feed using the Friends Dashboard. Click on "Friends" in the left navigation column to view your options for filtering the News Feed which include Friend Lists and Status Updates. Simply click on one of these options to see News Feed stories about recent status updates or the friends you've added to a certain list.
Edit: This appears to only filter certain friends. I am still looking how to filter by application.

The only way I've found is to filter by friends lists now and not by application. I hate the new setup. It was so easy to work your apps before because you could filter by specific applications (Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc) and only see updates from friends posting with those apps. It is much less organized now as you can only filter by friends regardless of what applications they are using and posting. It is also harder to edit & remove friends from lists.
