More changes in the News Feed

Facebook has changed its News Feed algorithm again, this time to reflect video usage.

It will now take into consideration how long a user has watched a video, in addition to number of views, likes, comments and shares.

People who watch more videos will see more in the future, and those who scroll past videos will likely see fewer.

What teen problem?

Facebook Hosts Conference On Future Of Social Technologies

It turns out Facebook may not have a teen problem after all.

Forrester Research surveyed more than 4,500 teens about their social media habits and found that Facebook is the most popular.

More than three-quarters of teens online use Facebook, twice as many as use Pinterest, Tumblr or Snapchat.
