Why Are My Facebook Page’s Posts Getting Bundled Together?

undefined

It’s your fault. You’ve “liked” too many pages, and now Facebook has to do something about it. Sure you might be following 50+ pages on Facebook, but do you really interact with all of them? You don’t. And Facebook knows it.

That’s why Facebook has rolled out a site-wide experiment that causes some users to see posts by pages “bundled” or “collapsed” together.

Here’s the logic:

[Correction: A spokesperson from Facebook has reached out to us to explain the logic, and it's slightly different than we originally reported. The new design let's users know when there are multiple posts from the same friend, Page, or Group in the News Feed. In this test, when there are multiple posts from the same person, Page, or Group in a short space of time, Facebook will show the top 2-3 stories, with a note at the top that there are more posts from this source. Users will have the option to click “see more” to see additional posts. This is to help people find more content they are interested in. Whether or not posts collapse or bundle is actually dependent on there being multiple posts from the Page, person, or Group. It has nothing to do with being a passive versus die-hard fan. I originally reported that the bundling was determined by how engaged of a fan you were, but this is not correct. The rest of the original post was accurate, but I apologize for the mistake on the logic.]

Here’s what the bundling looks like on desktop. Notice the “posted 3 updates” at the top of the screenshot and the “see all” at the bottom. Please note, there is no “see all” in the Facebook mobile app.

NASA’s Super Guppy Gives Mars-Bound Spacecraft A Lift

Image
Today the Orion capsule, NASA’s spacecraft designed to bring humans to Mars, starts its next phase of development at Kennedy Space Center. The remarkable part is that just this morning, that large spacecraft was at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. In order to carry Orion from New Orleans to Cape Canaveral, NASA recruited their Super Guppy aircraft. The Super Guppy has a cargo area that is 25 feet tall, 25 feet wide and 111 feet long. The jumbo plane can carry over 26 tons worth of cargo and is often used by NASA to ferry large components around the country that would take too long (or be impossible) to ship by land or by sea. The Super Guppy’s history dates back to the Apollo program. It was used in the 1960’s to carry parts of the Saturn V rocket from California to Florida. The other option NASA had was to ship rocket stages through the Panama Canal, which would often take weeks or months longer.

Dell XPS 13 2015 Review and Giveaway

Image
At Consumer Electronics Show 2015, Dell’s XPS 13 2015 edition swept the awards for laptops, particularly in the $800 price range. Considering the sheer quality of its competition, this was no easy feat. But, dude, are you getting a Dell? Read on to find out. Before going private, Dell’s sales weren’t doing great. It had slipped from the top PC seller to somewhere near sixth place in 2007. After a contested buyout in November of 2013, Dell’s future looked uncertain. However, its movements following the acquisition proved shrewd. Rather than releasing a deluge of models, as they had under public ownership, Dell refocused its efforts on building better products. The Dell XPS 13 2015 edition is part of the first line of laptops and tablets released following its departure from public ownership. The new line of Ultrabooks still use Dell’s made-to-order approach. Buyers configure their device online, selecting from a large number of parts and value-added options, with a base price of ...

Who To Follow On Twitter, According To Marc Andreessen

Image
Well-known Tweetstormer and investor Marc Andreessen has produced a list of his favorite people to follow on Twitter. He was prompted to do so by an article in The Information called “Silicon Valley’s Frontman Problem” by Jessica Lessin, who questioned if the industry leaders most often quoted by the media (she cited Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel) really “represent the views of the broader Silicon Valley community.” “The more media coverage Silicon Valley gets, the more important it is that other voices get heard,” Lessin wrote. (In addition to Lessin’s thought piece, New York magazine also just published an interview with Andreessen, in which he talked about the cultural changes in Silicon Valley since he arrived in 1994 and diversity in the tech industry, among other topics.) His list “only a highly abridged selection,” Andreessen (@pmarca) tweeted, but a helpful one because his public list of tech industry-related accounts has over 600 members. Since Andreessen’s ...
