Facebook Wins Another News Feed Patent

Facebook has won a patent for creating a personalized feed of stories for its users, giving the company its seventh this year. It’s the second news feed related patent the company has been awarded so far. You can see the approved patent filing here.

The patent covers how Facebook presents status updates with multiple friends involved (see the drawing excerpted from the patent above). So for example, it might cover how Facebook shows in a news feed story that a friend attended a concert with a few other friends or added a photo to another friend’s profile.
