Last time I checked, I had 845 Facebook friends. That's a lot of people with news to share, but Facebook's home page can organize these stories for me into two easy-to-follow views of my News Feed—a summary of some of the top stories called "Top News" and a live feed of all stories called "Most Recent." Here's how the two views work:
Top News
If you haven't logged onto Facebook in a while, your home page will default to this view.
Top News shows popular stories from your favorite friends and Pages, many of which have gained lots of attention since the last time you checked. In this view, you might find out about an old friend becoming engaged or see a hilarious video that your sister posted and that tons of your friends liked.
Since Top News is based on an algorithm, it uses factors such as how many friends are commenting on a post to aggregate content that you'll find interesting. It displays stories based on their relevance, rather than in chronological order.
