Tired of your friends? Now Facebook has a Snooze button

It's like putting someone in a social media timeout

There might not be a better function on an alarm clock than the snooze button, and now the same concept is making its way to Facebook.The social media platform announced Friday it is launching "Snooze," which allows users to temporarily unfollow a person, page or group for 30 days. While snoozing, you won't see any content from the snoozed in your News Feed, but they won't be unfriended."Seeing too many photos of your uncle’s new cat? Is your friend tempting you with endless photos of ramen on her Japan trip?" Facebook said in a release. "It turns out, you’re not alone. We’ve heard from people that they want more options to determine what they see in News Feed and when they see it. "Snooze can be activated using the top-right drop-down menu in a post. It is reversible at any time, and users will see a notification before the 30 days is up.
