Why isn’t your Facebook news feed managed like Flipboard?

Too Long; Didn't Read

I think it’s safe to say that at this point there is still certainly room for improvement with regards to Facebook’s news feed. I for one almost never go on it because every time I happen to stumble back to it I find that there is rarely something of interest at the top and so I give up and do something else. I don’t think I’m alone in this. I’m a 25 year old young professional, in other words, Facebook’s bread and butter because, me — and all of my friends — are exactly who advertisers want to shout at. But in speaking with a lot of my friends they either ignore their Facebook newsfeed or go on it only to be extremely frustrated with the content they find about subjects that either upset them or are of little interest. To many friends, Facebook is a way to retain ties with a disparate group of acquaintances and nothing more. It makes me skeptical of the value of Facebook’s “1 billion users per day”.
