A couple of days ago, Facebook began rolling out some additional filtering options for users' newsfeeds. Previously, users were given only two sorting options—Top News and Most Recent. While Top News was an algorithmic assortment of users' most interesting stories, Most Recent was simply a list of the most current updates from friends.
However, now users have a wide variety of options for sorting through their newsfeeds. They can choose to view stories involving Status Updates, Games, Pages, or Photos, as well as select to see posts from just one of their Groups.
Another new option allows users to control the number of posts they see from a specific user in their newsfeed.
Not everyone has access to the new filtering options yet, but they seem to be another attempt by Facebook to synthesize information for users and to make the site as user-friendly as possible.
Are you seeing the changes? What do you think?
