Facebook has updated its News Feed algorithm again. Almost one third of people use Facebook to get their news. Personally, I don’t like the News Feed default and prefer the All Friends feed. What does this mean for you? It means that they want more people to know what is going on around them…and by pushing more stories with the most comments, the most shares, and the most likes to the top of your feed, they believe you will want to see that story.

It turned out to be H1N1, and its impact was devastating, as recounted in the Whittier Daily News article: Whittier College student dies from H1N1 complications.
