However, I didn’t write any thing about this in detail. In this article I will talk about the News feed system that facebook have introduced. Read on to know more…

Facebook feeds are typically divided into two types, one among them is the top news feed and most recent news feed is the other one. You can find how they look in the following screen shot.
So, Most recent feed is the default feed that is selected in all facebook profiles. This feed fetches the latest feeds that come your way from your friends. Top news feeds are derived from the most recent feeds based on the popularity of the share among your friends. To get on to the top news feed, your share must either get some good number of likes or comments from your friends.
You should also see the search bar in the above snapshot, this is basically used to search for existing facebook friends and pages. You can also search for new friends right from this search box.
Accessing friend requests, messages and facebook notifications became much easier. The numbers 1,2,3 shown in the following snapshot represents these options respectively.
You can find more about this in this video tutorial.

Thanks Vamsi for this post. really useful and informative. Keep it up!
Informative post dude. But dude, “Most recent” are really annoying for me, do they really need it?
Top News is a pre-selected wall-feed, censored if you will, selection. Nobody has yet found out according to exactly which criteria Facebook does this selection. They are suspiciously vage about it. It opens doors to all kinds of manipulations Facebook can perform. Facebook can literally control what people get to read and what not, on an individual basis. For a while it was possible to switch to Most Recent once a log-in, i.e. once a day. Now they let the wall swap to Top News *every time* you leave the page. Most people aren’t even aware of this and have no idea that a lot of postings by their friends are invisible to them, and vice versa, their own posts are invisible to their friends. It has become clear, that Facebook does not want people to read everything they want to. They want to control the content of what’s going on on their platform. Hail web 2.0!
