Friday Facts: Facebook tweaks algorithms again based on new information

Every time we turn around it seems like Facebook is changing the algorithms and we, as page owners, feel like we're getting shafted by the changes. However, this time it sounds like Facebook is tweaking the algorithms to our favor - whether or not it really has will take a few months for us to see, but it does sound promising.

Facebook has realized that just because people don't like, comment or share doesn't mean that an article isn't worthy to be in the news feed. It could simply mean that the person didn't feel like doing any of those things at that time, etc.

This article, over at The Guardian, explains it more in detail and what the changes could mean for page owners: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/15/facebook-tweaks-news-feed-algorithm-time-spent

Now we get to wait and see if this actually improves views or not.
