Seven years after Facebook launched their News Feed to almost universal scorn, that river of updates, photos, info and ads has become what people think of when they think of Facebook. At 1 p.m. ET, Facebook will be revamping News Feeds, and you're sure to hate it-- until to forget what the old one looked like.
There have already been plenty of leaks and sneak peeks, thanks in large part to an early launch of the News Feed in New Zealand. In addition to shuffling things around a bit, and bumping up photo sizes, one of the biggest changes to expect is multiple News Feeds.
Like most people, you're probably unaware that you actually already have multiple News Feeds available. Facebook has three feeds available, in addition to the main news feed: "Pages" went live in October, "Music" has been around since 2011, and "My Offers" went live about a week ago. But they're hard to find on both the desktop and mobile versions of the site. With today's announcement, expect Facebook to some or all of these feeds, as well as a Photos feed, up top where they can be easily accessed.
Among the mostly cosmetic changes expected:
- The toolbar that runs along the bottom of the cover photo and links to "Timeline," "About," "Friends," "Photos" and "More" (without the thumbnail photos Facebook now uses)
- "Map" and "Likes" pushed further down the page
- A new "About" widget directly below the profile picture
- "Likes" on the left-hand side of the News Feed page
- "Notes" in a new prominent place on the left-hand side of the News Feed page, no longer buried beneath a dropdown menu
- "Photos" in a 3x3 tile on the left-hand side of the News Feed page
- A "Like" button accompanying links to other sites that you like the site itself
One other thing to look for is a change to the algorithm that determines what shows up in your News Feed. At some point in the past few months, people began suspecting a change that it makes it harder for companies and public figures to get their posts to appear in their followers' News Feed unless they pay for it.
But don't hold your breath. Facebook's last big announcement came in January, with the launch of "Graph Search" (which has been met with an indifferent shrug) and nothing was said then.
