Posting In Vain

How do your posts get top billing on Facebook? You might be surprised...

If it seems like some of your Facebook friends post a lot more than others, it could be an illusion. The two options – most recent and top news – are both censored by Facebook. Choosing the most recent DOESN’T show everyone’s recent posts. Top billing goes to those who post external links or photos. That’s because Facebook has determined that those tend to be more interesting, and will deliver more clicks for them. Friends you’ve recently interacted with show up more often too.

You can override Facebook’s choices by manually setting your favorite friends’ feeds. Go to the bottom of your home page and click Edit Options, then type in their names.
