So Facebook has made some changes! For religious Facebook users, this has caused some irritation. My comment on this....change is never comfortable.

Perhaps some of you are asking, "What did Facebook change?".

Facebook added Homepage interface options - Newsfeed and Livefeed.

Why did this upset people?

Well....Facebook defaults to the Newsfeed option (unless you change your options) leaving some posts from our friends out of our view! If you want to see posts in real time, you must select the 'Livefeed' option.

What is a Newsfeed on Facebook?

When you first log into Facebook, you'll see the the News Feed.  The News Feed automatically picks the stories it thinks are most important to you based on how many friends have liked and commented on them and various other factors.  Events that used to appear in the Highlights section are now back in the News Feed.  This includes when friends are tagged in photos, make friends, become fans, join a group, and RSVP to events.

 What is a Livefeed?

Once you've caught up on the important stories in the News Feed, you can switch to the Live Feed to see what's happening now.  The Live Feed is not filtered and shows all the posts.  The cool thing is it will continue to update in real-time while you are logged in, so you get a sense of hanging out at a digital party where everybody knows your name.

What is the purpose of these changes?

Customization and options! With the new Facebook changes, you can choose who you want to see 'News' from, and conversly, who you want to see 'Live' action from. If you have 500 friends, perhaps you are only TRUELY interested in Livefeed information from a hand full of them. The other couple hundred friends posting information, will only be apparent if the information was commented on or rated highly...'News' worthy if you will.

How do I switch from Newsfeed to Livefeed?

At the very top of your homepage you will see embolded text saying either Newsfeed or Livefeed. Simply click on the unbolded text to switch it!

How do I customize what appears on my Homepage?

You can control the content that appears on your home page by adjusting the filters on the left side of your screen
