As lucas states you are in control of what fb brings to your day. Like the good interesting stuff and that's what will be on your page. If you get sick of something just unlike it and you won't see it anymore. Not really much spam there.
I rarely ever put up a status on fb, that bits a little pretentious i recon and i don't want to share my day with everyone. Ask me i'll be happy to tell you about my day.
I am in maybe 20 4wd based grips on fb, i rarely visit any of them but they appear on my wall and i can skip over it or click if interested. There are heaps of private groups that are invisible and set up by people to share their own stuff, these can be fun with the right group of people. A private group can cross the " family friendly" off and be feral.
Most of the industry are now there and you get an insight into all sorts of stuff.
I like it, i rarely post on it but always have it open as a second tab on the ipad while on the forum. If you build your "like" network with the stuff your interested in then your news feed is constantly updating from all over the world.
If you have an old friend that friends you on fb and they turn out to just post rubbish just block them from your news feed, they don't know but you don't see it either.
Happy days.
Get on it book head ya grumpy bugger.
Seriously now ba, you have done some stuff in your days bud! Quite amazing stuff! Likeling some of those old friends in those other industries or businesses will see a new feed that reflects your life and gives you some connection with the things you have done.
Or not! You could just friend a heap of 14 yo girls and get junk. ;)
