Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg is promoting the social site's news feed function as the world's biggest source of published information. With people constantly uploading information about themselves, and with their Facebook activity being automatically dispersed to friends and acquaintances, Zuckerberg says in a Wall Street Journal interview this morning that over 300 million "stories" a day are being posted throughout Facebook.
Zuckerberg describes the news feed service as a new, revolutionary way in which to absorb information. The information we have online offers a new way to learn about various topics, save notes from class, and find information. While the news feeds were initially a cause of much controversy, the service has quickly become as one of Facebook's central features.
The functionality of Facebook's news feeds is very similar to other services growing in popularity, like Twitter and Jaiku, offering a news feed for yourself and your friends. They are all integrated with SMS technology to keep the updates going when you're on the move.
