A Facebook Fix
Recently a Facebook friend posted a complaint about the "wankers" (the Brits have such expressive words!) at that noble organization who feed us status reports based on the frequency of our interaction with our friends. Needless to say, this can be a real annoyance if you want to be updated about a friend who isn't a regular poster, or who simply reads your posts but doesn't necessarily react to them in some way (like, or comment).
He posted a workaround, but as it happens, it was a little off. You could change your preferences (in your Account settings) to All Friends for News Feeds, but it wouldn't "stick."

Friends and pages you interact with the most
All your friends and pages
Select "All your friends and pages," and save.
For now, this seems to have solved the problem, and I am seeing posts from many more of my friends!
