Facebook gives users option to hide Ticker
Some Facebook users are seeing a new option to hide Ticker, the real-time activity feed in the right sidebar of the homepage.
Although the feature can be distracting, it is a key component of the new Open Graph ecosystem that lets apps continuously publish lightweight stories to Ticker and larger aggregate stories to News Feed and Timeline. Facebook may have found that users are rarely clicking on Ticker stories, but by seeing if users hide the module completely, the company can determine what improvements might be necessary.
