The Facebook Blog
Since introducing the new home page, we've been working to make it easier for you to stay updated with your friends and connections. Your News Feed, in the center of your home page, offers you an updated stream of what's happening with them. Beginning today, that stream is going live.
We've always focused the stream on real-time updates, but before today you needed to refresh your browser to see the most recent posts since logging in. The stream now updates automatically and gives you the option to view new posts with a prompt at the top of the page immediately below the Publisher.
We've always focused the stream on real-time updates, but before today you needed to refresh your browser to see the most recent posts since logging in. The stream now updates automatically and gives you the option to view new posts with a prompt at the top of the page immediately below the Publisher.
If you click the prompt, all of the new stories will expand for you to view in your stream.
We're rolling these changes out gradually, so they will be available to everyone soon.
Your feedback played an important role in this change. Live updating for the stream was one of the most common requests we received for the home page, and we plan to keep making improvements. The best way to share your continued feedback is through the "submit feedback" link on the home page tour. We may add more ways for you to instantly update your stream in the future.
Adam Hupp, an engineer working on the stream, thinks his friends' newest posts are refreshing.
