Facebook users were hit with a major update on Wednesday. The News Feed that displays other users’ status updates has been altered to a real-time news ticker. It is now tailored to how often a user visits the site. Updates are now ranked by factors that allow users to mark certain posts as top stories instead of simply displaying the most recent news.
