Turning off updates a user sees when they make a change

Is there any way to turn off updates a user sees when they make a change to a record they own?  I don't want my feed to show changes I make because I know I have made them.

 

However, I could see how you would want them to appear when someone else comments or likes them.  Would this be custom VF page to show me only the feeds I want?

There is no supported way of doing this. I guess you could write a custom VF page with a custom chatter component (you won't be able to use the standard chatter:feed VF tags) that queries the respective entity feed object and filters out the 'Tracked Changes' records that the user created himself/herself. Theoretically possible I guess, but lots of work (especially if you want this across all objects for which Chatter is enabled) and definitely not recommended.

What about using a before insert Trigger on FeedItems? Triggers on FeedItem and FeedComment are supported in Spring 11

FeedItems of type 'TrackedChange' and 'UserStatus' don't invoke the new Spring 11 Chatter triggers. In other words, when a tracked field changes on a record, it won't fire any FeedItem/FeedComment triggers. Triggers are therefore not an option in this case.

 

Moreover, as I understand it, the user only wants to hide/filter certain tracked changes updates from the Chatter UI. Triggers wouldn't have helped with any UI customization anyways.
