The news feed eradicator has been a very good solution for me. I can still message, participate in groups, but that damned newsfeed is blocked! The newsfeed is engineered to suck up all of our precious cognitive space and fill it with mostly junk.

I found this out recently, in case anyone else doesn't know, messenger.com [1] gets you facebook chat without the rest of facebook. I use it a lot during the day when I want to talk to people but not get sucked into the news feed.

I use Messenger.com and I like it except for one big inconvenience. The right bar displaying thumbnails of all your past photos exchanged within a conversation is nothing but annoying and even if you hide it, when you refresh it, it pops up again.
