Facebook and Digg are making news with news. Both sites recently revamped their news feeds. Denver’s KMGH explains the Facebook changes.

“Now Facebook has redesigned the news feed again. Facebook also launched a ticker right here on the right side of the screen. Users have been seeing both of these changes in beta test versions in recent weeks baut today they go live across the site.”

So what exactly did Facebook do to your news feed? According to The Huffington Post, the social media mammoth made it easier to find the content that matters to you.

“Until now, the News Feed was split into two sections: Top News and Recent News … But people who visit the site … aren’t necessarily looking for the most recent news; they’re more likely looking for the most interesting and engaging updates that have been posted since the last time they logged on.”

News aggregation site Digg also made big changes to its news feed this week. VentureBeat explains how its new feature, Newsrooms, works.   

“Digg takes content from … tech news blogs and news sites, and adds it directly to the ‘Newswire’ in each Newsroom. Digg ranks those stories by how new they are and how much of a ‘signal’ they have — which is a hodgepodge metric derived from the number of times readers have Tweeted the story and shared it on other sites.”

And although it's story ranking system may not be a novel idea, according to the LA Times; it is a first for Digg.

“...Digg has never before made use of signals from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. In fact, when Digg was created, none of these three sites were as influential or popular as they are now.”

So is Digg’s new news feed a hit? According to CNET the best indicator may be Digg, itself.

“One possible indicator is how well the news of Digg's new feature is doing in the Digg Technology newsroom--as of about 10 minutes after the beta went live it was only the No. 2 story, behind the news of Instagram 2.0.”
