Facebook updated its news feed for a better and absolutely convenient platform for businesses worldwide. In lieu to the king of social media growth of 25 percent in February 2015, a very unbelievable milestone for the company, Facebook is now aiming for a larger business-based platform for everybody.
The social media platform unveiled that they are creating this whole new innovation for the betterment of everyone, knowing that they have already less 100 million active users globally. “The goal of News Feed is to show you the stories that matter most to you,” the social media giant states, extending the update to all Android, iOS and even desktop users. “To do this, we use ranking to order stories based on how interesting we believe they are to you: specifically, whom you tend to interact with, and what kinds of content you tend to like and comment on.”
Facebook can now analyze the user’s posts, likes and comments. With this, the algorithm is now adjusted based on whom and which the user is interested in to. According to a report, “Facebook analyzes those patterns, preferences, and behaviors to show you more of what it thinks you’ll like—including particular advertisements.”
Moreover, Facebook is now adding features on its personalization menu. Users can now alter and adjust those posts that they are interested in. An example would be, having a specific user’s posts be on top of all the others. It is like an important person you would wish to check out – something like pinning the person’s latest posts on the active user’s news feed.
Wired reports, “Take the “find new pages” feature. It makes it super easy for you to discover and connect to the artists, news outlets, and businesses you like. Of course, the options you’re given are based on the pages you’ve previously liked to increase your [chances] of liking more pages—and give Facebook that much more insight into your predilections, taste, and interests.”
Previously, Facebook has already changed the feature where people can only hide some users from showing up his/her posts on the user’s news feed. But now, it is a way different game. The user can now unfollow persons or pages that he/she does not want to see. This feature is different from unfriending as it discreetly hides the person’s or page’s posts. Win for all!
Here, Facebook teaches users on how to follow those user’s that people may have unfollowed previously:
You can reconnect with a person, Page or group that you unfollowed by following them again.
Notifications
Only you will see the change. The person, Page or group won’t be notified that you followed them again.
