Facebook has changed yet again. Starting today you may notice a new link at the top of your page called News Feed and Live Feed.  Here is Facebook’s explanations of the change.

“You will be able to catch up on what you may have missed while you were away from Facebook and then easily switch to the real-time stream when you want to see posts as soon as they’re shared. Here’s how it works:

News Feed
When you log into Facebook, you’ll see the most interesting things that happened in the last day in the “News Feed” view. News Feed picks stories that we think you’ll enjoy based on a variety of factors including how many friends have liked and commented on it and how likely you are to interact with that story.

Live Feed
Once you’ve caught up on what you missed, you can click through to “Live Feed” to see what’s happening right now. As long as you remain logged into Facebook, you’ll continue to see posts and activity from your friends in real-time. You can edit what appears in this view by clicking “Edit Options” at the bottom of the home page.

In other words the News feed takes the place of the hot items you used to see on the right of your screen – while the live feed will give you the regular happenings of your friends. I for one just need Facebook to leave the design alone for a little while.
