Facebook to promote user subscriptions with new recommended people list










An upcoming update by Facebook will recommend a list of people you might want to follow based on which Facebook pages you currently “like”. According to Inside Facebook, this new feature-section will be located in the right-side column of a user’s active page, directing viewers to a selection of “People To Subscribe To”.

After the launch of Facebook’s new Subscriptions, a feature allowing users to subscribe to the public updates of those they may not actually be friends with, this new recommendation list has the potential to boost the subscription count of several notable people on the platform. In Facebook’s effort to become more asymmetrical as opposed to its once-very-private approach to sharing, this suggestive feature will more organically introduce the actual act of subscribing to those who may not have noticed it before.

With this new recommendation list being introduced, it’s obvious that those who we decide to connect ourselves with on the network will greatly influence our actual user experience. This should force Facebook users to better curate content and more accurately select which brands, companies or people they’re most interested in — though I’d wager most casual Facebook users won’t take the new features as seriously as I might.                                                                                                            courtesty : TNW
