Facebook today said it is testing a new feature for the News Feed called Keyword Snooze. The tool lets people temporarily hide posts that contain certain keywords. The keywords can be pulled directly from the type of post the user doesn't want to see, such as something with a TV or movie plot line spoiler. Facebook says keywords that are snoozed won't be visible in the News Feed for a period of 30 days, after which the words will be unsnoozed automatically. Facebook didn't say how long it will test the feature before making it permanent.
