Use - mute - wisely

Many social media networks have the ability to mark as read new feeds or articles in a personal inbox. In Google Reader you have the ability to mark as read and additionally to flag interesting feeds with a star, in a similar way as emails in our Gmail inbox.
As Google Buzz does not have the mentioned two flags, many Buzzers use - mute - to eliminate read posts from the personal Buzz stream.
Experience shows that muting all posts in our personal Buzz stream is a very effective, but quite time consuming activity.
It is recommended to use the - mute - functionality just for those posts which are disturbing:
- disturbing titles or content
- disturbing images or videos
- disturbing number of images
- disturbing ads
- posts which you consider as "closed"
