The ‘News Feed’ celebrates 10 years with many changes that lead to its origins.
the year was 2006. Mark Zuckerberg and his team decided to make something Facebook different. Until then only you could access the social network and view the profiles of users, but there was no place to find out what was going on with your friends.
so he was born the News Feed , the wall of publications, like the bulletin board of the university, came to show news from your friends and let you know if they were married, if they were on the beach or if they met years.
“with News Feed , suddenly, you could share with your friends at once. And you could see what was happening with all your friends in one place. News Feed was the first real social source. Was such a fundamental idea that now, 10 years later, all the major social applications have their equivalent, “Zuckerberg wrote in his profile on the social network.
Facebook founder young entrepreneur recalled that when started the News Feed, not everyone liked the idea. a million people joined a group of protests and threatened to leave the social network if not removed immediately and there were even protesters outside the offices of Menlo Park.
According to Zuckerberg, currently more than one billion people build the News Feed every day with their stories, but the wall has evolved, allowing you to select who can see your posts and even letting you tell what things you like and do not like to see them or not more often.
In 10 years changes News Feed they are evident, although they continue. we went from a season in which the company pages were important, to one in which users were bored with the social network, which was a new change that began to prioritize your friends , returning to the beginning.
Recently Facebook announced that the News Feed would change, would be redesigned to give priority to the things that you really like. After conducting a survey, the social network decided to show more informative content about your community, the world, celebrities and recipes … because in the end, that’s what you want to see.
The Changing Facebook algorithm has been widely criticized by professionals who use Facebook for their businesses, which are increasingly losing importance in the social network.
Facebook wants you to see what you are really interested, so depending on the interactions you have with a friend, a business or a type of stories in particular that way your wall news will be built. In the end, it seems that the network returns to its roots, putting people first.
