Why you should not actively use the updated Facebook

You've heard that Facebook is launching a new design of the news stream and display different content on your page. And you will surely adore their friends and acquaintances (otherwise with what joy they would have "friends" ?!) But here's the thing: update algorithms, by which the world's largest social network is going to "feed" your news, pictures, and other seals, does not promise you the special freedom choice.

I'm with my friends a lot in common. But this does not mean that I want to friends and acquaintances were determined which specific content I want to see in their stream of news / updates / status. Not so long ago in the Facebook developer blog, "surfaced" information on how to redesign after news feeds social network will be selected for publishing posts in your stream. And you know, the coming changes are not caused enthusiasm not only me, but also Levi Mills, which conducts column project Medium. Developers want us all - Facebook users - read what you like to our friends, and not we ourselves. For example, they refuse to see you in the prerogative of the posts, and news from the brands, companies and the media to which you have subscribed to social network, if these posts and media materials will not collect a sufficient number of "likes" and would not like someone from Your friends. How to solve this problem, using Facebook against the very idea of ​​the "new Facebook»? So far, only one option: to subscribe to content from influential users, editors, bloggers, the media and the projects that interest you. Otherwise, you run the risk of a new tape of the status of "drown" in the seals and endless demotivators.

Imagine a huge port. In the port come products, ships and all that port belongs to you. Now imagine that you want to visit a dozen other "islands" -site to get out of there, "cargo" -kontent that interests you. But for this purpose, you can only use a small boat. And if you want more targeted content, like reviews from The Verge reports or CNN, you need a "ship" more. Well, if you raznostronnie interests (I'm sure that among the readers of "Layfhakera" these people - the majority), then you need some kind of "super-tanker." For a long time in the role of "super tanker" were sites like Facebook or Google+. Here you can choose not only the "cargo", but also "team": old familiar Facebook allowed themselves to determine the range of interests and subscriptions frequency itself form its content. Now, you run the risk to see in their stream someone zainstagramlenny soup and endless girlish "crossbows in the mirror," because their "Zalaykali" 10 of your 100 "friends." In this situation there are two ways out: as long as possible to use the old version of Facebook with all your subscriptions and customized lists of pages you are interested in; or in general to devote more time RSS FeedRather than the news feed in a social network. And third, radical way: you can do to reduce the use of social networks to an entirely new model, As it has been previously it was told in the pages of "Layfhakera."

And what are you going to do with the updated version of Facebook?
