That's an excellent point. For a while I thought "Man, my new friends in this city sure do use Facebook a lot more than my other friends", but a quick glance at a distant friend's timeline shows that isn't the case.

The problem is we'll never really know for sure. We don't know if our friends are just ignoring us or if they've even seen our posts. Edgerank is a good idea, when our friends/likes/subscribes get high, but if implemented incorrectly, you can end up missing a lot of updates that are relevant to you.

It's a really hard problem to solve. I wish Facebook would let me choose certain people and say "Put everything this person/band/page posts into my newsfeed".
