Facebook Changes News Feed Ranking Algorithm

For those of you optimizing your News Feed distribution, Facebook just pushed an update tonight that changes the way application feed items are displayed to users without the app.

We hope that this change will improve the quality of our user’s experience when interacting with News Feed stories for Platform applications.
