Facebook Is Changing How Your News Feed Works
The key to getting visibility in a Facebook News Feed is no longer just about how many likes and comments a post receives.
The social network is now relying on user feedback to help it deliver a more meaningful News Feed experience to its 1.6 billion users, according to a blog post from Facebook software engineers Cheng Zhang and Si Chen.
The changes in Facebook's algorithm come from survey feedback Facebook has received from a focus group of more than 1,000 people who were asked to rate their experience on the site and suggest how Facebook can improve the content they get in their News Feed.
Facebook also made key changes to News Feed last summer when it began allowing users to take control of their News Feed preference, allowing users to select group of pages and friends whose posts Facebook promises to always share first at the top of a user's News Feed.
