Facebook launches “Hide From Your Timeline” check box on posts

Now you can create a post on Facebook that will appear in your friends’ news feeds, but not on your own timeline. 

CNet spotted the new feature and published a screenshot that shows a check box called “Hide From Your Timeline” alongside the compose box at the top of the news feed.

A few types of posts that would be ideal for this news-feed-only treatment: political memes; viral articles about cute animals; idle musings on brunch. RP
