Facebook: Live Feed vs. News Feed
By Tim Barsness | January 15, 2010
Are you using your Facebook feeds optimally? Facebook provides two different feeds, the news feed and the live feed. What’s the difference? The news feed is an intelligent collection of what Facebook thinks you will like to see based on your past interaction with the site, but doesn’t include everything that goes on. The live feed is a customizable as-it-happens feed of everything you wish to see.
Which is right for me?
The right feed for the job really depends on what your needs are. You’ll find that the news feed might have more interesting information if you are an occasional user, but could become stale if you are a frequent Facebook visitor. The live feed can be overwhelming at times, but you are sure not to miss anything you are looking for. For me, a customized live feed with limited content is where I like to spend most of my time.
Still Can’t Decide?
No problem! You can switch back and forth easily clicking the corresponding buttons near the top of the feed page.
