Say goodbye to unwanted updates and to grade school classmates yelling for attention on Facebook. The Altoids brand is all about knowing what you want and ignoring everything else, which is why it has celebrated its Curiously Strong(TM) flavor for more than 200 years. To amplify this message, the Altoids brand announces the launch of Tune Out for Desktop, a free app allowing users to keep up with their favorite -- and only their favorite -- people on Facebook. All versions of the app, which became available on iPhone and Android earlier this year, can be demoed and downloaded at http://www.facebook.com/altoids.

Tune Out is a new way for consumers to view and comment on recent updates from their favorites on a single, scrolling screen -- so they'll never miss out on the latest news, stories or photos they care most about.

  How It Works:
  --  When the app opens, users will be prompted to log into their Facebook
      account.  Next, they'll be presented with a full list of Facebook
      friends and can search for specific friends by name.
  --  Users can then choose their favorites who will be added to the "Tuned
      In" option and appear in a grid.  To keep the app manageable, we
      recommend no more than 16 favorites.  Everyone else is "tuned out,"
      though consumers can always edit their selections and notify friends
      when they've been added to their "Tuned In" list.
  --  Starred profiles let consumers know at-a-glance the favorites who have
      updates to share.  Simply click on a profile photo to view individual
      updates or click "Latest" to view all recent posts together on a
      single feed.  From there, users can comment on any of the posts to
      stay connected.
  --  An added bonus, Tune Out works with Twitter as well.

Altoids is a brand that knows what it likes.  It represents strength, confidence and conviction.  With Tune Out, those who value these same qualities can finally give their closest friends the attention they deserve.
