The News Feed has been revamped to reduce clutter and to allow you to get to stories you want to read as easily as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-News-Feed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5335\" title=\"Facebook News Feed\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-News-Feed-300x154.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook News Feed\" width=\"300\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-News-Feed-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-News-Feed-1024x528.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-News-Feed.jpg 1185w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The News Feed is now broken down into content based feeds like Photos, Music, Friends and Pages you might be following. Clicking on Photos will show you all photos or albums that your friends might have shared. Similarly clicking on Music will help you to discover what your friends have been listening to and find which is the most popular song right now. Photos and albums have been blown up in size to better interact on a visual level. \u00a0If more than one person has shared something, their profile photos will be shown along the left edge. Hovering over their profile pictures will show if they have added any comment when sharing the link.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-news-feed-article-summary.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5336\" title=\"Facebook news feed article summary\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-news-feed-article-summary-300x153.png\" alt=\"Facebook news feed article summary\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-news-feed-article-summary-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-news-feed-article-summary.png 626w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Posts about articles and links from <a href=\"http:\/\/techdivine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">websites<\/a> will also display more information in the summary with larger logos &amp; thumbnails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-sidebar.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5337\" title=\"Facebook sidebar\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-sidebar-300x195.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-sidebar-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Facebook-sidebar.png 865w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sidebar on the left hand side that you might have observed when browsing on the mobile web or from the Facebook app on your smartphone is also coming to the desktop version.

It does look quite less cluttered and very clean. But it also looks like it has taken inspiration from Google Plus in many places. Google Plus co-incidentally also<a title=\"Google Plus updates with huge cover photos and visual changes to profiles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2013\/03\/google-plus-updates-with-huge-cover-photos-and-visual-changes-to-profiles\/\" target=\"_blank\"> rolled quite a few changes to user profiles<\/a> just a day prior to Facebook&#8217;s big announcement. These changes will be rolled out slowly over the coming months to all users.
