Wait for it…. Facebook is changing things up again and this time it’s how you get your updates in what we’ve all come to know as our News Feed. Before you start griping here’s the deal.  It appears Facebook realizes that the feed is one of the top priorities for users right now. While we won’t know exactly what is changing until Thursday there have been a few leaks that indicate what we could see.

News Feed Goes Mobile:
A redesigned app that would appear in tiles.. breaking up subject matter. For instance your ‘new’ would be put in a tile, ‘user uploaded photos’ in another section and status updates with photos/captions would be in another section. If it happens.. people are going to be confused. It’s a whole different way of getting your content and I don’t think people are gonna want to adapt: Too many options, too much work to get to the stuff you want. DigitaTrends.com takes a look:

Smarter News Feed:
Right now there’s an algorithm in place that decides what tops/included in your feed. Thins like top stories, comments, person posting and whether it’s an update or photo are all factored in. To make the feed more relevant… facebook wants to know more about YOU rather than the content being posted. There’s rumors a new equation is in the works that will analyze links you visit while logged on to Facebook, your friends, things you’ve purchased and sites you’ve visited.

Content Pushing:
DigitalTrends noticed a handful of new features being tested out on Facebook (and confirmed as tests, for that matter), and among them was an in-line like button that sits inside of an update shared by a friend. In this case it was a Vimeo video, which first popped up on the News Feed and later, we rediscovered it on the submitter’s Timeline. The story surfaced a link that takes you straight to Vimeo’s Facebook Page and an in-line button that sits across from this link. Considering that Facebook has built out this feature in the first place, at least for now Facebook wants more people to like more pages and is essentially offering users a shortcut to liking these Pages.

With this in mind, there’s evidently something going on behind the scenes since the News Feed is surfacing update types not seen in a long time: friendships, events, and follower updates. Tacked onto these updates are options to follow people our friends are following, or add friends that our friends have friended, all directly from the News Feed. DigitalTrends says you can’t bank on these updates being pushed to the new News Feed, but they could a smaller part of the larger release.
