ny update on your main "News Feed" page—click it, and you can either stop hearing from Suzy TalksTooMuch, or prevent anyone from ever telling you which Lord of the Rings race they'd belong to.

It might seem counter-intuitive to sign up for another web service to majorly reshape the others, but you have no idea what kind of power NutshellMail can give you.

Google tools: If you're a Gmail user, it's fairly easy to add an feed reader to the sidebar, which provides an easy glance at what's happening without forcing you to click away. You could get even more discrete by adding your social feeds to the top-scrolling Web Clips. And if iGoogle is your start page, you can create a few boxes that contain all your social chatter. Click the "Add Stuff" link at the far right of your page, then look at the bottom-left of the page it links you to for an "Add Feed or Gadget" button. Paste in an RSS feed, and you're good to go.

RSS, in the simplest terms, is a stream of the latest headlines, posts, and other updates from web sites that change frequently. Just like weblogs, most of the major social networks offer RSS feeds of your friends' activity. Let's run through setting up a feed reader, grabbing the feeds from your social sites, and then sifting the cruft out of them.

Facebook: Click on Inbox after logging in, then click the Notifications tab near the top of the center panel. The link for your friends' status updates is on the right. Note, however, that Facebook's feed only covers straight-up status updates. For the whole firehose, you'll need to install a Facebook app like Newsfeed RSS.

Deeper Filtering and Mixing: Want to poke around a bit more in what makes it through your distraction filter? FeedDemon, mentioned above, lets you create "watches" for keywords and strip out items you don't want to see. Beyond that, there's the Grand Puba of RSS tools, Yahoo Pipes.
