For a few days now, there have been rumors of a Facebook update with a subsequent official announcement, and indeed, the innovations were all unveiled last night.
There’s a new change, not only from a graphic perspective but also functional, that affects Facebook: the “NewsFeed” mechanism is now live.
The aim is to make the Facebook experience, in certain aspects, similar to reading a newspaper, naturally in its electronic format.
In this regard, it will be possible to order the most interesting content, receive more relevant updates on what attracts the most attention at a given moment or period, and highlight only specific elements, such as videos, music, or photos.
Facebook’s staff is paying maximum attention precisely to photos, given the clear trend towards massive sharing of personal snapshots and images.
This is not a novelty or a surprise at all: the success of services like Instagram (later acquired by Facebook) or social networks like Pinterest speaks volumes about the sharing trend associated with photographs.
The new “NewsFeed” system will be accessible on the right side of the screen, allowing for increasingly personalized use of Facebook by creating – over time and with the expression of preferences – a network of indications for the algorithm developed by Facebook, so as to progressively and automatically propose increasingly relevant results.
In this regard, it is likely that the technology developed for Graph Search has contributed to enabling the creation of this new system, whose introduction will occur gradually, as usual: the novelty will initially be extended only to a few users and then made operational for everyone.
However, those who are curious to try the new Facebook timeline view can apply to become a kind of tester directly at this link.
