In a new setting (at least a setting that I just learned about), Facebook has limited your news feed to 250 random people you are friends with.  I have roughly 524 friends, which means that I won’t see updates from more than half of the people I ‘know’ on Facebook.  I didn’t choose what 250 I would see, meaning I could see updates from people I don’t care about and miss out on my best friends.  There is a list of ‘Recommended Friends’ but I don’t care who they recommend, I want to see everybody!

The important part, how to get rid of it.  It’s very simple.  Scroll down to the bottom of your news feed and you will see an ‘Edit Options’ button.  Click and on the bottom left of the screen that pops up it will say “Control how many friends you want shown in Live Feed,” tell it 5000, which is the maximum amount of friends Facebook allows you to have.

Happy Facebook-ing
