Facebook takes on News Feed spam posts

Facebook wants to minimize the amount of spam posts you see on your News Feed. The social network plans to block like-baiting, frequently circulated content, and spammy links. Like-baiting includes posts that say “like if you agree, share if you disagree, etc.” Frequently circulated content include statuses and photos that are continuously re-shared to try to generate engagement. And spammy links are those that mislead people into clicking on links that re-direct to questionable sites.

Facebook dumped last year’s redesign due to small screens

You have netbook users and other small-screened PC users to blame if you’ve been waiting for the picture-heavy version of Facebook’s News Feed. The social network dumped the idea because the layout didn’t look right on netbooks and other PCS with smaller screens. Facebook had to give up the possible revenue this new feature could offer because it meant they could please hundreds and millions of users who use the site on those devices.
