Mashable says Facebook announced new anti-spam controls for the mini-feed

According to Mashable, Facebook announced this morning that they’re adding new “spam control” features to the mini-feed. I went and checked out my profile, and either the features aren’t live yet or they aren’t going to be at all.

Regardless, it’s not a bad idea:

Now, though, users can review actions published to the mini-feed in new ways: users are able hit the “Hide Story” option like they always have, but also available is “I didn’t do this”, which when selected also provides an additional option of removing the application entirely.

Although personally, I’d rather they do something a with the notifications before they go after the feed. After all, the feed is kind of supposed to be a little bit spammy - it’s where apps and actions announce themselves.
