Does interfacing with Reader provide processing improvements over pulling the feeds directly?
If you're analyzing (and enriching?) feeds, I'm guessing you're running something like Calais and Solr as part of your processing stack. With 1600 feeds you're talking about a serious number of entries to deal with. Does Reader provide enough bandwidth to pull the ...

Can I "like" a TV show on Facebook but not see news from it in my News Feed?
Yes, you can. Click on the x to the right of any such news item in your feed (it appears when you hover over that item), and choose "Hide [page name]".
This way you retain the "like" status (i.e. continue to be a fan, as it used to be called), but you won't get any more ...

They have just started to implement them.
One of the goals we’re shooting for is to be able to use the entire web app without a mouse at all. We’re not quite there yet, but there are many shortcuts currently available:
j/k: Jump to next/previous article
up/down: Scroll to next/previous article with animation
space: Scroll to next article
s: open share ...

How does the News Feed determine which content is most interesting?
The News Feed algorithm bases this on
a few factors: how many friends are
commenting on a certain piece of
content, who posted the content, and
what type of content it is (e.g.
photo, video, or status ...

I believe it does. They are saving every single click and they are trying to feed you with something that you like.
From an interview of a Facebook Employee:
The Rumpus: On your servers, do you save everything ever entered into Facebook at any time, whether or not it’s been deleted, untagged, and so forth?
Facebook Employee: That is essentially ...

I do not believe it does. In the faqs, facebook makes no mention of "Hide this post" influencing what gets displayed, but they do say that "Mark as Spam" will "help keep your News Feed clear of similar stories in the future."

You can click the "See More" link at the bottom of the Jobs pane which opens up a new page with an expanded list. On that page you can use the faceted filter boxes at the left to narrow the listings. Unfortunately, however, there is no way to permanently save your preferences in this regard.
Note that the "Jobs you may be interested in" feature is still in ...

Are you referring to your News Feed (Top News), News Feed (Most Recent), or the Recent Activity on your profile?
I think that News Feed (Top News) only displays what Facebook considers to be most interesting to you, so I wouldn't expect your own likes/comments there. The News Feed setting that you mentioned applies to the Most Recent setting.

In the left column, where your different groups and pages are listed, right on top there's News Feed. You can see and edit your settings there. Only the friends/pages/groups you've unsubscribed/selected hide content are listed there. And this works fine.

In order to not see updates from people you have placed on your restricted list you'll have to go to their profile, mouse over "Subscribed" and then select "Unsubscribe".
If you go to a Friend's profile and the word "Subscribe" is there you aren't subscribed to any of their posts, so none will be coming through on your newsfeed.

Yahoo Pipes does not support protected feeds natively. You can use this specific pipe to accomplish such a task.
Moreover I had some success (not sure they cover all the cases, but a try is worth) with xfruits and notify.me.

As you've noted, there are three categories that divide these up resulting in 8 different feeds:
15 vs 50 - This just tells you how many items appear in the RSS feed. Depending on how busy the group is and how often your RSS reader checks it, collecting only 15 messages could mean missing out on some if 20 had been posted. On the other hand, if the group ...

If you'd like to read News Feed items in your feed reader of choice, you can follow these instructions to build RSS feed URLs. You could then pipe the "News Feed" feed through something like Yahoo Pipes or FeedRinse to filter out/only the applications you're interested in.
A bit of a struggle, but it should work for you.

It does not seem to be possible. There is chatter in the Facebook Support Community but nothing to suggest that it is a feature right now.
There was a time where you could at least have priority of the filters by dragging but that seems to have been removed in the redesign.
For now until Facebook brings it back , you are going to be stuck with a add-on ...
