Just when you think it’s safe to read your news feed on Facebook…they have changed it again. But it has strange similarities to the original news feed of long, long ago.
Basically, they have done away with the Most Recent tab and have combined those updates with the Top Stories. But, so we don’t miss anything while we are away from our beloved Facebook, the Top Stories are being highlighted that Facebook believes might be important to us. These appear at the top of your page and are marked with a Blue corner in the upper left.
The criteria for pulling Top Stories is based on the relationship you have to the person, how many people are commenting on the post, how many “likes” it received and what kind of story it is. If you find stories that you really don’t care to read as Top Stories, you can hover over the right side of the post and click the down arrow to remove it from your Top Stories.
So basically you might see Recent Stories, then Top Stories and more Recent Stories while viewing your News Feed. But when you log in after being away for a while, the Top Stories should pop to the top of the News Feed.
Also, you can once again view updates based on your Friends List. To do this, from your Home page, click “More” on the left side bar at LISTS, and select which friends list you would like to view.
I’m happy about the news feed changes, because it makes it easier to keep up with those friends and pages that are most important to me and my business.
What about you? Do you like the changes?
