Facebook Gets More Twitterish By Showing Timely And Trending Posts Immediately


Facebook wants to steal discussion of real-time events from Twitter and stop being perceived as a slow social network. So today it announced News Feed changes that will surface posts that mention Trending Topics sooner and higher in the feed. It will also look at when people like and comment on posts from friends and Pages so it can stop showing posts about real-time events hours later when they’re no longer relevant. The changes could make Facebook better for following breaking news and live events like TV premieres, sports games, and award shows which have become Twitter’s bread and butter.


We’ll have more analysis soon.
