As a social networking site, Facebook Emoticons acts much like a broadcasting service,
sharing news about its members wherever they are. However, rather
than tuning in to see general news about everyone on the site or stories
selected entirely by Facebook Emoticons, your news is narrowed down to just the
people you know—your friends, family, coworkers, or colleagues. The
news that is shared, whether it’s status updates, photos, or the latest group
someone joined, is referred to as stories on Facebook Emoticons. This news is also
called feed stories or news feed stories. The information that appears on
the Home page is a constant stream of stories about the activities and pursuits
of your friends. The official name for this is news feeds. The stories
that appear on your profile are called mini-feeds because they’re all about
you.
For example, anytime you post a status update on your Wall, it’s a story
on your mini-feed—information dedicated to you.
