A look into Facebook's 'Big Like Theory'

In the TV show “The Big Bang Theory,” the humor and fun of the show comes from the relationships between the main characters as expressed by their geekiness. Geekiness often evidenced by their special and superior understanding of complex mathematical algorithms and science problems. As viewers we don’t always understand all of it, but we get that geeky commonality is what brings this group together and makes them tick.

Facebook ticks along pretty much in the same way, using complex algorithms and science to determine the strength and quality our relationships with our friends to affect what content we see and like in our News Feed… to keep us entertained enough to come back for more and more.
