Facebook Gets Another Overhaul Giving Us Easier To Find Top Stories, Something Called A Ticker & Easier To Read Friends Lists

Change is almost never easy for people to take. Talking about Facebook users and that truth is no joke. Facebook knows that with a user-base of their magnitude, it’s virtually impossible to keep everyone happy. This overhaul is no different. Luckily this time privacy hasn’t played a big role in the negative press.


Facebook just recently released a huge change in the way the front page works. Many would call it a great improvement while others have already begun to complain. The first change to mention is the way top stories are displayed. They now appear at the top of the stream while the rest of the most recent stories appear underneath. There is also something new called the ticker along the right sidebar making interaction with the most recent updates a cinch. Finally along the left sidebar is your friends lists where you can easily click to just read updates from specific lists.

In ever increasing pressure to remain the top social network (with Google+ breathing down their necks), Facebook has been hard at work vastly improving (or at least changing) the user experience.
