Facebook tests design and wording changes to encourage users to post more

Facebook appears to be testing a number of changes to the News Feed publisher box aimed at getting users to post more frequently.

Some users are seeing stats beneath the publisher about how long it has been since their last update or about how many friends have recently logged in. These additions could lead users to feel a small sense of obligation to post more frequently.

We’ve also seen design and wording changes that seem to make posting a status more about personal expression.
