Whoa – people are mad! I just logged onto my personal Facebook account to find compliant after compliant about the latest update to the news feed. As I posted yesterday, Google+ added nine new updates, and Facebook decided to follow suit. While this could simply be coincidental the way they’re now displaying the news feed sure has upset a lot of people (people who never have updated their status are complaining).
According to Facebook the new update is suppose to make it “easier to keep up with people in your life no matter how frequently or infrequently you’re on Facebook.” The new feed includes the “most interesting stores” featured at the top. They’re displaying the updates with a blue corner.
If you’re a more frequent visitor of Facebook you’ll see the most recent stories first. Photos will also be bigger. They also added a “ticker” that displays friends activity in real-time.
This ticker can be adjusted based on the width of your screen. I remember when they first introduced the “news feed” how mad people were calling it a “stalking feature” but eventually everyone adapted and life went on. I expect this situation to pan out the same.
On a different note though, I did notice a decrease in CTR (click through rate) with a couple of my campaigns that have been running strong for a couple of months. Not sure if this update had anything to do with that (people’s eyeballs going everywhere) but I’m going to pause for a couple of hours. So what do you all think – are you pissed?
