every single blasted one of those comments is added as a new post on my wall too!

Dear, dear Tiim, I said this to Honeyball (sort of) and I’ll say it to you: if you don’t want photo comments in your News Feed, just go to your application list, select “edit” and uncheck the box that says “Show me stories about this in my News Feed”. Whatever else you think about it, Facebook does at least have the grace to be customisable so that you get as many or as few activity notifications as you choose. Fixing your settings on FB doesn’t take a degree in Nuclear Physics…..!
