"Facebook just made one of the biggest changes to the site's user experience since the introduction of the News Feed three years ago. News Feed was the place in the very center of the site where all the activities of a user's friends were displayed in reverse chronological order. That feature is now called the Live Feed and the News Feed has become a filtered display of activity highlights instead. In September 2006 the News Feed was a radical idea; thousands of Facebook users revolted against the idea that all their friends would be shown every photo they uploaded, when their relationship status changed and other information as soon as it was available. Today we live in a different world. Almost everything is social and the new challenge is tackling information overload. That's what Facebook just did today and it's going to be very important for the future."
"The New Facebook News Feed and What It Means" By Marshall Kirkpatrick, Published: October 23, 2009
How is Facebook going to be able to handle all the live feed on their networking site? And will this change the way social networking affects everything? Now instead of just highlights people are shown every single thing you are doing, saying, uploading, and more. Can this new feature help or hurt? It will be interesting to see if this feature works for one of the largest social networking sites in the world.
