Recently took Facebook one snapchat when they opened for users to add text and emojis images.

Now it newsflow who have had enough of an update and new functionality, specifically the ability to choose favorite friends and prioritize who to see first thing in the news stream.

Not quite illogical when the target with newsflow allegedly is to provide you the most relevant content, although it is not always perceived that way.

Development

This is in many ways a continuation of control tool Facebook introduced in November 2014 that made it easier to delete posts in newsflow from single friends without deleting the Facebook friendship.

Besides that you can now also see highlight friends, Facebook has given the user interface in the submenu ‘preferences for news update “a new design.

Here they have chosen to drop to a crawl unless we absolutely have understood why they did it. Whatever your choice of shellfish, the most important is that it is perceived more user friendly and transparent than before.

Here you now have five setting options:

1 . Prioritize who you will see at first

Here you can prioritize whom their posts you will not miss and always find at the top of your News Feed. Friends and pages you follow, listed with icons that you can easily click on to see highlight.

2. Unfollow people to hide their posts

Here you previously chance to choose who you no longer wish to follow and see posts from the News Feed. You’ll still be friends on Facebook.

3. Reconnecting with people you no longer following

You can still choose reconnecting and see posts from people you no longer following. Note, however, the two crabs that takes a “high five” in pur reunion joy.

4. Discover new pages

Based on what pages you’ve liked in the past suggests Facebook new pages you could conceivably equal.

5. Apps that are hidden from your News Feed

– It’s all about relevance and engagement

Communications and social media expert, Hans-Petter Nygard-Hansen, is not surprised that Facebook allows users to a greater extent to influence the content of news flow by favorite highlight friends and pages.

– For Facebook, it’s about being the most relevant to the individual. Are they not, they risk the worst that people stop using the service. Another key word is commitment, which increasingly comes between people than between people and brands. By opening to favorite highlight friends gives you thus the possibility of just more involvement, says Nygård Hansen.

Where heavy users’ favorite selection will affect the algorithm newsflow he is unsure.

– The only thing that is certain is that Facebook will pay close attention and certainly make small adjustments in the future, and it will be interesting to see how favorite markings actually translate into newsflow.
