Facebook Makes It Easier to Tweak What You See in Your Feed

Facebook wants you to see more of what you want to see. New tools will help you weed through the clutter of boring, unwanted information, often from long-forgotten acquaintances, and surface the gems from close friends and interesting pages. You'll now be able to choose the friends and pages you want to see on your news feed first. To do this, go to the friend's profile. Click on the box that says "following" and select "see first." Facebook's computer software uses a wide range of information you provide to decide what to show. This includes what friends you interact with and how often, or whether you tend to like photos, videos or text updates more.

The update is available Thursday on iPhones and iPads and is being rolled out in the coming weeks to Android phones and personal computers.
