Facebook News Feed Gets Smarter" And The Ticker Makes Its Big Debut
One of Facebook's most important products is getting much smarter and a little easier to use.Less than 48 hours before its f8 developer conference, Facebook is rolling out an updated version of News Feed that does away with the two-tabbed interface that it's had for two years now. Before today you'd have to swap between 'Top Stories' (a feed of stories that Facebook thought were important) and 'Most Recent' (a feed of your friends' most recent actions on the site). Plenty of users clicked both of these tabs over 50% as of last year but Facebook has long been convinced that it wasn't the optimal solution.Which brings us to today's launch. Facebook will now merge both types of content into the same feed, intelligently determining how much screen real estate to allocate to 'Top Stories' based on how recently you've logged into the site.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/hjODy3o2oiU/
