Facebook is changing the way you see content

Below is an excerpt posted yesterday in Facebook’s newsroom:

Starting soon, we’ll be doing a better job of distinguishing between a high quality article on a website versus a meme photo hosted somewhere other than Facebook when people click on those stories on mobile. This means that high quality articles you or others read may show up a bit more prominently in your News Feed, and meme photos may show up a bit less prominently.

Continuing our look at suspect social media etiquette I present this since deleted tweet from Kellogg’s UK.

Kellogg’s posted the tweet on Friday to raise awareness for its Give a Child a Breakfast campaign.

Well, social media wasn’t too friendly to the company.

Kellogg’s has since apologized for the tweet.

Butch Jones on social media

Missouri’s kicker took some heat on social media Saturday for missing a short field goal. Butch Jones addressed the situation at his weekly press conference Monday saying that the best way to not be criticized on social media is to not be on it in the first place.

How not to tweet

Updated:

Updated: The tweet is now on an industry blog, so it must be true.

This now deleted tweet is making its rounds on the Internet.

So far the only confirmation of this actually going out is a couple of retweets on twitter and this Creative Loafing Atlanta article.

“Faces of Facebook” includes photos of all (as of this writing) 1.278 billion users of the popular social media site. Don’t worry if you can’t spot your face right off the bat, honestly the entire thing looks like static noise to me.

The good news is, when the site is working, you can find where your face lives and where your mug lives isn’t random, everyone’s face was added in the order they joined Facebook. I’m number 555,569, 12 rows from the top.
