It has been exactly ten years since Facebook first introduced what surely can be called the backbone of the social network. News Feed is what greets the company’s over 1.5 billion users when they first login into the website, both via desktop or smartphone. Till FB added the News Feed, it was just a collection of profiles. Users could visit a friend’s page, but there was no way to see updates from their friends or vice-versa.
Said CEO Mark Zuckerberg, “This invention is one of my favorite stories from Facebook’s history. Sometimes people talk about the “idea” behind Facebook, as if it was a single concept that came out fully formed. But Facebook, like everything, is made of many ideas and inventions.”
