Facebook has become a hub for sharing all the latest news, articles, celebrity talks and what not. The latest i can think of is the news related to an amazing person who’s unfortunately not with us anymore.
May God bless his soul !!
Well lets move on and talk why we’re here. ==> Facebook is tweaking its News Feed .
Yes you heard it right. Facebook’s News Feed algorithms are being modified so as to acknowledge a sense of high quality content that user may like to click on his mobile device (specifically).
But what is the need for it ? I mean Facebook has a lot of good content, already being shared!! So why did they think of this updation ?
Well the answer to this came from the results of the surveys they conducted.
The surveys clearly indicate that the average Facebook users prefer the high quality content articles related to all the latest events that connects them to a good resource as compared to those short memes hosted outside Facebook that usually have very low information for the user.
Facebook has over 1.5 billion users and it noticed an increase of over 170% referral traffic from Facebook to other media sites this year.
Facebook in order to reduce this number, is trying to increase the high quality content so as to show the right content to the right people at the right time without referring it to the memes outside Facebook.
Facebook has always focused on displaying the post with respect to its importance to the user, unlike Twitter which follows a chronological order for the same. Thus the implementation of these highly complex algorithms much more effectively will help Facebook to involve the user into good content exploration and thus increasing the company’s use and value.
