Facebook has attained international accreditation for being a platform of exchange among people irrespective of class and caste and creed. People of all races and all countries amalgamate and mingle with each other, share their views and talk on a particular subject through this social platform. The fluidity and the user-friendly nature of Facebook made it acquire the right to be called a universal platform for social exchange, propagation of ideas, and transaction of business in a secular and democratic manner. Facebook has become that dais for exchange and interface which secedes the mere frontiers of the world country boundaries and becomes in the very true sense of the term: “International”.

User experience

The product manager of Facebook and the researcher for user experience, namely Mr. Max Eulenstien and Mr. Lauren Scissors respectively announced some days ago that Facebook has acquired some new algorithms in Facebook for the betterment of the updates and the betterment of the website. They said that these updates shall give a mixed news feed that shall be balanced amicably and thus you shall get better feedback from your friends and connections. They demanded that this shall make Facebook much more personalized and thus the balance shall be different for every single entity.

The four different algorithms

As said earlier there are three different kinds of algorithms that are introduced to give Facebook a much more personalized look and to make it more interesting among the people of the day.

1. The first update shall be applicable for the users who do not visit the site and has not have many things to see. This shall make you see multiple posts from a single row and thus you shall get the total picture of any post this was not present some days ago.
2. The second update is for the status updates, video links, and photos of your friends. These shall be now higher in the news feed. Every time someone opens the home page of the Facebook profile, there shall be a scroll bar at the right-hand side top. This scroll shall constantly show the likes of the friends, the videos the friends are liking or uploading, and the photos too. This shall keep the user updated with all the info of the friends and the world shall get to know each other better.
3. The third update shall enable fewer amounts of advertisements posts on the wall directly. This shall enable a cleaner and better wall.
4. According to different studies it can be specified that if videos are directly uploaded to Facebook, they will have better viral reach than YouTube link sharing on Facebook. Approximately 208% increased reach happens to directly upload videos than YouTube link sharing. Hereby let us enumerate some more startling changes in the get-up of Facebook.

Facebook wall

The wall is the face of a profile. There have been compatible changes over the getup and the design of the wall in the past few years. The creator of Facebook Marc Zuckerberg always dreamt to have a unanimous community with all the know-how of each other on the web. The modern wall has a cover photo that one may select as per choice. This photo shall give the first impression. There are distributions of the posts made by people. There is a special control via which the post on the wall can be review regulated. No post shall be made bereft of the acquiescence of the user.

The privacy notice changes

Now the tagging and de-tagging are made easier. The photo feature shall allow the de-tagging of the photos with one click. The tagging of photos can also be reviewed and controlled now. Just change the privacy settings. The usage of Instagram photos had been an issue of sensation in the past.
Facebook has acquired a special sharing service that has made sharing over Instagram much easier.

Promoted posts

This is a great new inclusion in the total changes of the algorithm of Facebook. Now if one wants to circulate a post more than the average rate then there are certain paid services that are making Facebook posts be circulated to a predetermined number of people. This shall enable the increment in the viability of the post in the virtual world of Facebook.

A social media network that has over 1.5 billion users all throughout the world has to undergo the changes every time and then to keep the uncertainty and the amazement in the users. As per Facebook’s engineering manager Minwen Ji, Facebook has always groped to increase its viability and the makers aim at new inclusions every moment.
