Is your Facebook newsfeed boring you? You may need to change your settings
Do you keep seeing the same posts from the same people on your Facebook newsfeed, and wonder if all your other friends decided to go silent simultaneously?
Facebook recently changed newsfeed settings so it defaults to only showing posts from pages and people with whom you interact with most, or with whom you've recently interacted.
To get back to normal, log in to Facebook and scroll down to the bottom of your homepage. Click "Edit Options" at the bottom right corner of your newsfeed, and change "Friends and pages you interact with most" to "All of your friends and pages."
You may have seen some of your friends posting notes about this; there's an effort going on to spread the word. Many users are posting this as their status:
"Noticed that you are only seeing updates/comments from the same people lately? FACEBOOK MADE A CHANGE. You only see posts from people you interact with regularly. To change this, scroll down to the bottom of the news-feed on the homepage and click on 'Edit Options', click 'Show Posts From' & change the setting to 'All Of Your Friends and Pages'."

What's bad about the change is that, for instance, business pages might be hidden from your feed if you haven't commented/interacted with that page for a while. (HINT, HINT. ALL the Daily Press pages could use some love). Businesses will see a big drop in traffic from Facebook, as well as the number of impressions each post garners.
Facebook, why are you messing with a good thing? First you change the Fan Pages, now this? What's next?
