In a blog post published this week, social network Facebook has revealed that it is making some tweaks to its algorithm, to bring about a change to the users' News Feed. As a result of the tweaked algorithm, stories will show up at the top of a user's News Feed in accordance with their actual relevance to the individual user.

Facebook said in its blog post that, with the help of the tweaked algorithm, it will be able to sift through Facebook posts and weed out the stories from the top of a user's feed if the stories are not of much interest to the user; irrespective of the number of likes and shares garnered by the story.

As such, Facebook will show up those stories on the top of a user's News feed which the users would likely want to see; and would probably click or 'like' the story, comment on it, or share the story with other users.

Towards that end, Facebook has asserted in its blog post: "We will rank stories higher in feed which we think people might take action on, and which people might want to see near the top of their News Feed."

With regard to the change being brought by Facebook to the users' News Feed, the company said that the move is based on the results of a survey, in which more than 1,000 Facebook users -- called the feed quality panel -- were paid to give a day-to-day rating to the quality of their News Feed.
