Do you have more than 250 friends in Facebook? If yes, you should know this.

I thought of doing a research and study more on how Facebook’s News Feed works i.e. ‘top news’ and ‘most recent’.  Result is pretty interesting!!
Do you know Facebook has already chosen which of your friends will be displayed in these feeds and which will be hidden?  How to fix this?

Top news: It tells about the list of newsfeed that is prominently discussed among your friends in your network.
Most recent: It tells about the recent news and updates.

Adding Friends Back into the News feed
The friends and updates that are displayed in your Live Feed can be displayed independently of your News Feed.
To unhide them and to choose for yourself who is displayed... Scroll to the bottom of the
News Feed screen and click on Edit Options,

Facebook has already determined which of your friends will appear in your News Feed.. but you can change that so you can choose which friends to display.

hat is interesting is, I really don’t understand on how Facebook can determine and select my friends news feed on my behalf. And as you go down you can find the number 250, it is a predetermined number by Facebook if you want to see more news updates increase the number. Even you can hide friends, from getting their news feeds.

Towards the bottom you can see “View recommended friends”

The ones displayed in light-blue are those friends that Facebook thinks you want displayed in your Live Feed. The ones displayed in white are those friends that Facebook thinks you don’t want displayed in your Live Feed. So to choose who you want displayed in your Live Feed.. just click on those friends.. and they will turn dark-blue,

Then click “Back to settings”

And then save.

So there you have it.. All your friends activities and status updates will appear in your News Feed.
And not just the ones that Facebook thinks you should have!
