Facebook changed their site a little bit. News Feed aggregates the most interesting content that your friends are
posting, while Live Feed shows you all the actions your friends are
making in real-time.
You can control how many friends are shown in Live Feed by clicking "Edit Options" at the bottom of the page.
The News Feed algorithm bases this on a few factors: how many friends
are commenting on a certain piece of content, who posted the content,
and what type of content it is (e.g. photo, video, or status update).
You can remove friends from the News Feed list (from your default
stream) simply by clicking the "Hide" that appears when you hover over
their story in your stream.
To add someone back to your News Feed, follow these steps:
- Scroll down to the bottom of your News Feed and click "Edit Options."
- If you are looking for a friend, scan the list to find that person.
If you are looking for a public profile, select the Public Profiles tab.
- Click "Add to News Feed" to see their posts again.
- Click "Close" to save your changes.

Facebook enables you to see what’s happening with your friends through
past events and real-time feeds of information. Highlights and the News
Feed were combined into a single stream so that you could have more
control over what you view on your home page and stay connected with
your friends.
As a result of this change, you’ll notice that the Suggestions section
has been moved to the right-hand column of the home page. Also,
birthdays and events are displayed more prominently on the home page.
When someone sends you a friend request, public stories about you may
appear in their News Feed. If you decline a friend request from this
person, public stories about you (stories that have the privacy set to
"Everyone") will no longer appear in their News Feed. Please note that
News Feed will never show stories that a non-friend wouldn’t ordinarily
be able to see. For example, if you posted a video and set the privacy
to "Friends," a person who is waiting for you to approve their friend
request would not see that in their News Feed. If you had set the video
to be visible to Everyone, that person would see it.
You can always change your privacy settings by selecting "Privacy
Settings" under the Settings drop-down menu and clicking the
appropriate section.
