Finally!
It's no secret that we've all noticed the major changes to Facebook since it's inception in 2004. One of the biggest reactions from users dealt directly with the redesign of the news feeds, which received a slew of complaints. Mainly, because each users audience appeared to drastically diminish after the change. Will Cathcart, the company's news feed product manager, took the time to explain exactly how your post's visibility is determined:
1. If you interacted with an author’s posts before: If you Like every post by a Page that Facebook shows you, it will show you more from that Page.
2. Other people’s reactions to a specific post: If everyone else on Facebook shown a post ignores it or complains, it’s less likely to show you that post.
3. Your interaction with posts of the same type in the past: If you always Like photos, there’s a better chance you’ll see a photo posted by a Page.
4. If that specific post has received complaints by other users who have seen it, or the Page who posted it has received lots complaints in the past, you’ll be less likely to see that post. This factor became a lot more prevalent starting in September 2012.Well, I feel more informed. I still don't see posts from friends that I'd like to (and too many from those I could care less about) but I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles. ::Kanye shrug::
How long have you been on Facebook? Do you like the new changes? Why or Why not?
