The Facebook newsfeed redesign: Big is beautiful

Today Facebook is planning to announce a redesign of their newsfeed.
As with any Facebook-announcement, media are highly anticipating the event and of course some are already speculating on the outcome.

The redesign comes at a time the company is facing multiple struggles.

On one hand, Facebook is noticing a trend of users moving away from the service, citing ‘Facebook Fatigue’. In particular the younger users appear to be leaving Facebook in favor of other social networks to share their content on, such as Instagram and Pinterest.

On the other hand, Facebook is catering to advertisers on their network, who are looking for bigger and more photo and video content, on top of their desire for more engaging advertisements, founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg told New York Times.

The team at Crowdynews will be keeping a close eye on the announcement tonight; we know all too well how the battle for Engaging Relevant Content is never won.

We would even go as far as to predict that indeed images are going to be bigger. Bigger, if not immersive imagery is something we’re seeing across most social sharing sites.

Besides following the Facebook announcement, of course we ourselves are also constantly looking for ways to improve our methods of finding, understanding, ranking and displaying content in the most meaningful manner.

Curious how Crowdynews can supply you with engaging, relevant and real-time content?
