Do you spend way too much time on Facebook?  Does it seem like it takes forever just to go through your newsfeed?  Do you wish there was an easy way to filter out the junk and only see the good stuff?  GoGoGabi.com is a mobile app that filters and sorts your Facebook content, letting you scroll through ranked results of the most relevant, popular, and controversial posts.  According to Gabi:

We all used Facebook to communicate messages about our lives and opinions to our social networks.  We consider it the best, most fundamental social network for visual communicators.  We wanted a way to support and redefine it.  We started Gabi with a simple idea: to surface the top content from our Facebook feeds.  To see only the best stuff.  We also wanted a new way of interacting with Facebook, an intuitive way to filter and sort content.

You can like and comment directly from the Gabi app.  Gabi also has a blog.

Have you recently updated some software but like the old version better?  Do you wish you could have it back?  OldApps.com is a website that provides free downloads of old software which currently includes 2843 old versions of 194 programs.  According to OldApps.com:

While most web-sites provide downloads of current versions, OldApps.com caters to a different market of interest by providing older versions of the same useful programs.  Often newer versions are more complicated to use and we understand that it is hard to find older, more user-friendly versions of popular software…  As software updates are being released more frequently, not every computer is able to keep up with the minimum requirements of new software; OldApps.com hopes that we can provide a means to circumvent this problem.  Many users with slow Internet connections may want to attain a leaner program to avoid the common frustrations associated with the increasingly larger sizes of modern programs.

Categories include: Audio, Browsers, CD DVD Tools, Drivers, Developer Tools, Email Clients, File Archivers, File Sharing, FTP Clients, Image Editing, Messengers, Office/Editing, Security, Utilities, Video, and Mac Old Versions.  OldApps.com also includes discussion forums.
