Facebook promueve noticias reales posteadas por los mismos usuarios
The news on Facebook generally tells you who had a baby or who is celebrating a birthday. Now Facebook is taking the term news a little more literally and looking more like Twitter in the process, offering links to real news items and references to current happenings posted by the users themselves.Facebook acknowledged in its publication that the algorithm of its News Feed has been changed to show more links to articles in the media, which will be particularly evident on mobile devices.The algorithm made a big change in Facebooks principal mechanisms, designed to make it the worlds biggest social network, by making them more relevant in terms of current affairs and what is going on in any given area, a terrain where it had been overshadowed by Twitter.The announcement coincides with reports by some publishers who say their hits on Facebook have increased. For example, BuzzFeed reported in October that its referral traffic from Facebook jumped 855 percent between September 2012 and September 2013.What is implicit in the change is Facebooks effort to employ a strategy to be more like Twitter, an invaluable source of news and analysis. It is the latest in a series of updates, such as the promotion of public figures so that users follow the news about them on Facebook, which is taking the oldest social network more in the direction of its chief competitor.
