Facebook To Change Its Homepage Offerings

NEW YORK (AP) ― Worried about missing a birth announcement, or details on what your portly uncle had for lunch?

Facebook is tweaking its home page yet again in hopes of making it easier to find information. Among the latest changes is a list of items you might have missed during those rare moments spent away from the online hangout, displayed in a stream called the "News Feed."

Next to it, clicking on "Live Feed" gives users an unfiltered stream of updates from all their friends, not just the items Facebook thinks you will find interesting, such as things posted by close friends.

Facebook will also feature birthdays and events more prominently.

The changes are being rolled out Friday
