Facebook is Experimenting With New Ticker Box And Other Features


Today when I started my laptop and login to Facebook website, I was surprised to see the new changes occurred in Facebook. “Top News” and “Recent” links at the top disappeared. And a new Ticker box appeared on a right. I curiously asked to my friends about the new feature but none of them got this till now. Also I asked question to my friends on Facebook but I didn’t get any answer from them.



Here are the changes I saw on my Facebook homepage:

“Top News” and “Recent Links” Disappeared:

I don’t understand why Facebook removes this very engaging feature from its interface. By default, it is showing only “Top News”. If you want to see the most recent news then check out Ticker, a newly launched feature in new Facebook.

Ticker in Facebook:

On right side, there is a new Ticker box that shows most recent updates by your friends. Also if you click on any link then a new pop up will appear showing the update. If the link is YouTube or Facebook video then you can play that video right inside the pop up. Great new feature by Facebook.
So these are the new features I got in a new Facebook. Are you the one who got the new features? If yes, then leave a comment and share your experience that whether you like the new features or not.
