Facebook you tricked me, again

Now I have the live feed back, but when I logged into FB this afternoon I saw newsfeeds from yesterday. I was just about to start slamming my keyboard and mouse around, cursing the social network for not working when I needed (wanted)  it to and realized that Facebook was just updating its home page again. This time with the intention of making things easier.

The new Facebook home page is designed to show you first what it believes is most interesting, and weed out what it apparently thinks is boring. If you want to see what everyone has to say, click the new “live feed’ button above your update prompt. Relevancy… hmm… where have I heard this before?

Besides your boring friend’s posts, what else is eliminated? The highlights section on the right side of your home page. More room for birthdays and events – which Facebook says we wanted.  The previously named highlights items will now be integrated into the live / news feed sections (if it is interesting enough).

Facebook has also brought back newsfeed posts that pertain to what and who your friends become fans of.

Now if Facebook could really determine relevancy, they would just ban all the quiz results from my feed…

…especially from those “friends” who take them all day long…
