Facebook Is Changing Your News Feed In A Subtle But Important Way


Facebook is introducing a new way to track what you do on your News Feed. The social network will now weigh two different factors when deciding what to show you, the company announced in a blog post Monday.
“News Feed will begin to look at both the probability that you would want to see the story at the top of your feed and the probability that you will like, comment on, click or share a story,” Facebook engineers Cheng Zhang and Si Chen wrote.
In other words, Facebook will try to use what it knows about you to show you things you want to see and respond to. It’s not clear exactly how this will work, and a spokeswoman for Facebook did not reply to requests for comment.
