Better Facebook Like Buttons... More, Less and None.

Facebook would be a lot better if we decided what we wanted to see in our timelines... and what we didn't.
You click a "Like" button, and Facebook gets a good idea of what you like, so they can decide what to show in your timeline, but unless they know what you don't like, it's still a random mess.
My solution is adding three new links under posts you see online. "More", "Less" and "None".
The concept is super easy, those three links tell Facebook exactly what you want to see more of, less of, and what you want to completely ignore. Want to see more stuff about Clint Eastwood, click more. If you don't hate Katy Perry, but frankly you're seeing a bit too much of her, click less, and you simply don't want to see any more posts about Justin Beiber or Lindsay Lohan ever... click none.
Instead of Facebook guessing what you want to see, why not simply let each user decide.
One cool benefit is that you can think of the More and Less buttons like a volume button. Every time you click "More" on the things you like, it increases the number of other posts on the same subject to show in the future.
So, if you've clicked "More" a dozen or so times on posts about Jeeps, it tells Facebook that it's okay to increase the percentage of Jeep posts to show.
