What’s Missing From Your Facebook News Feed?

With an ever updating Facebook, some may find it hard to keep up.  Here’s a tip to keep you on the forefront.

Has this ever happened to you… You log into facebook, and on your news feed you notice all the updates from your friends, but its the same friends day after day.  It seems like out of your entire Facebook social network of friends, a handful are posting and the rest are nowhere to be found.  Then a good friend asks if you noticed their recent post, but you have no idea what they are talking about.  After searching your news feed, you are still in the dark.  What the heck is going on?

Well, there’s an app for that.  Not really, but there is a reason and a solution.

Basically, with the new Facebook profiles, there is a default setting for your news feed that is set to show posts from “friends and pages you interact with most”.  So, if you have been posting and have seen no responses, it’s not a sign that you have lost your social relevance or that your friends have been ignoring you.  You and many like you have been having the same experience.
