The 50,000 people who read TechCrunch and AllFacebook.com care about the speed of the Facebook news feed. The other 6 billion people in the world don't and will be happy to use Facebook as is.

I have been saying this for months now...hitting refresh all time on my News feed only to get new content every few hours is really starting to get lame.
Maybe there could be an option with a slider bar to set how often content is added...or maybe the number of stories per hour you would like to see. That would be splendid.

You sure have changed your tone about the possible benefits of FriendFeed! lol. In seriousness though, the next iteration of profiles allows user to 'approve' what appears in their feed, so I imagine that the ones that ARE approved will have a higher 'value' in the algorithm, and we'll start seeing more entries about what people WANT to show off to their friends.
Which is good.

I totally concur on the desire to get more info in my news-feed, I often feel like FB is insisting what I want/need to know without letting me easily dive deeper.
I would welcome A "see more news-feed items" link at the bottom of the page, or something along those lines, and imagine I'm not alone in that sentiment...

@Mike, hmm ... don't u think the average person is consuming more content now though? I'm not so sure that they don't want this.

Gary makes a good point, but I really question how much the mainstream audience actually cares about how quick Facebook updates or whether they will gravitate toward the simplicity and relevance that Twitter provides. I think the masses are quite content to simply continue to casually surf their friend's profiles and view their photos, while playing with the occasional app.

Very agree with your idea. With more newsfeed friends can get more and more information. But we need better tools to manage these fast news and give them a better way to show.
