I hope you enjoy the video...

So I've had a few ask me about the new Facebook Newsfeed layout, but One in particular?

• 'Top Stories' will be based on how recently you have logged into the site.

• If you are like myself :) checking Facebook quite often, then most of the items in your feed will be recent.

• If however you are logging back in after a few days, then Facebook will try to give you an overview of the most important things your friends have been sharing.

• Important stories will now be denoted with a small light blue triangle in the top left hand corner...shown in the image.

• You can also click on the triangle to let Facebook know if they missed an important story that you find interesting and it will mark it as a top story...or on the flip side of that...you can also let them know if you don't care for some of the feed they thought was important. So that's it on the new News Feed, hope you're liking it, I know a few ain't, but given time I'm sure they'll understand why Facebook have made the changes. See yaaaaaaaaaa ~ Eamon.

They've now introduced a few more options that is going to make a big difference...especially where we can now enter into a group discussion with up to 9 other people and show each other our computer screens, currently these options are still in testing mode, but they are really on it here and are asking for peoples feed back.

• The fact that we are now able to screen share has changed things dramatically in our favour...this is a biggie, now we can share our desktop/laptop with the people who are in the "Hangout" I can see this having an effect on the Webinar platform...where some are just charging ridiculous prices just to be able to show screen sharing. I'm sure there are plenty of groups out there that meet up every week to discuss things on a Webinar say! Or the fact that you may offer a one on one with a lucky contestant who has won a consultation with you on a walk through on how things are done....what I'm saying here is social media is going to change the way things are done online.

• Naming your hangout, you can see from the image above...we're now getting the chance to give the hangout a "unique name," so the name always says it all; doesn't it :). Say you wanted to start a hangout and name the topic "Online Beginners," then that means if it were open to the public, your followers can view the name and see if it would be of interest for them to get involved or if they weren't a beginner they could simply pass on, it opens up the stage for people with a large following that want to talk about a specific topic and give it that name, others followers can then see the name and skip it if it doesn't appeal to them.

P.S. another big one here is "Google docs" I know a lot of people outsource and usually use jing and other software to get the point across, now being able to use Google docs in a Hangout - you can have a live one on one with your outsourcing team, showing them directly how to go about doing certain tasks. So I'm loving the new changes G+ are making to the hangouts; lets hope they get even better :). See yaaaa all over at a Google hangout, lol. ~ Eamon.

• First off...If you're in BUSINESS, you'll still need a FAN-PAGE, if your goal is to represent your business, brand, or product on Facebook, your best bet is to still create a Page. You have better tools and features and admin rights; where pages let you engage more with people and other pages, they also let you manage and track engagement.

• If you want to start sharing your updates from your (personal profile) with a wider audience, then allowing the subscriber option on your profile is a good option. When you allow the subscribers option on your profile, anyone can subscribe and get your public updates in the News Feed, even if you're not friends on Facebook.

• You can have an unlimited amount of non-friends subscribe to your public posts, (that's if you allow it to be activated) and (subscribe) to as many as 5000 people, this means you can receive public updates of up to 5000 non-friends on your wall, if them people have the subscribe turned on.

• Your friend limit is still capped at 5000

• Public posts - this used to be called everyone, but Facebook has renamed it and now we have the Public Posts option when we go to share something to our wall.

• As regards to your actual friends -- (You will be automatically subscribed to posts already).

• When you subscribe to a person this automatically goes out into the newsfeed and is visible by all your friends.

• Don't over do it with using the subscribe button to often, or you'll get a spam warning, so as is the same with adding friends - if you start to see this pop up...slow it down a little and use with caution.

• If you decide to use the subscribe option, you'll start to see subscribers and subscribing to others on the left hand side of your profile under friends. Subscriptions (non-friends you are now following) and Subscribers (non-friends who are now following you).

• You can choose what shows up in your news feed by hovering over the subscribe button of each individual person and selecting what you want to show - you may only want to see a photo and videos from someone, or most recent updates...or choose not to see things like games or live events etc.

• To filter these options - you can go to either the subscribe button on the persons profile  - or navigate to the subscribe button on the left hand side of your profile page - click there and when it brings up the page - hover over that persons subscribe button and it will give you a drop down menu to select what you want and don't want to show up in your newsfeed.
