Most of the people you have the option to take revenge against have little or nothing worth taking anyhow, so the only real use for the news is to trade links with friends. That kind of games the system and things have been a lot more fun as of late, now that Tom can't have **** (short-form of Richard) and Harry watching his hood for him while he sleeps.
Gree should remove the news feed, use the extra HUD space for something more interesting, and use the menu button for something more useful.
