What’s The Buzz All About
To make sure that you see only those stories that matter to you and no clutters at all, team Jukerberg categorizes news feeds in 4 major categories
- All Friends : Accommodate all the feeds that your friends are sharing.
- Photos : Accommodates photos from your friends and pages you like
- Music : A feed about the music you listen to
- Following : A feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.

New Dimensions in Business Branding

The user interface will accommodate up to 10 ad slots and at least four of those items remain dynamically present in the right-hand column while scrolling. It will probably set the stage for the SMM experts to bring the change.
