Your Facebook News Feed is Going to Look Different Soon

Facebook has sent out invites to journalists in the US to a special press event where it will unveil a new look for its News Feed. The invite is pretty bare-bones which just reads, "Come see a new look for News Feed."

There is a probable chance that we are not going to like the change, if history is anything to go by (also, because anything Facebook does shall be seen through the lens of extreme scrutiny). The last change to the News Feed in September 2011 was met with harsh criticism as it prioritized "important" updates when users just wanted to see the most recent ones. As a result, Facebook added an option to sort the News Feed by "most recent".

The unveil will take place next week. I am just hoping that Facebook also sorts the timeline which is quite a jumbled up mess.
