Facebook: News Feed algorithm change only affects Open Graph actions

Many social marketers were a little confused this week when Facebook announced a change to its News Feed algorithm. Stories where users explicitly shared a post from a third-party app will have more weight within the algorithm, while the frictionless sharing that helped many apps such as Spotify find success will be ranked lower.

A Facebook spokesperson explained to Inside Facebook that this does not effect scheduling and post management apps, such as Hootsuite.
