In accordance with Backchannel, since the foundation of News Feed, 2006, the Facebook has realized by simply observing reactions in a user's timeline and by counting likes and shares can not safely discover the content they like in the world.

A Manager του News Feed έδωσε ένα παράδειγμα παρομοιάζοντας τις δημοσιεύσεις με ντόνατς. Αν κάποιος φέρει Donuts θα φάτε σίγουρα γιατί είναι είναι νόστιμα. Αλλά αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι δεν θα φάτε και κάτι άλλο εκτός από Donuts.

So to improve the News Feed, Facebook is already testing, in a random sample of its members from the United States, a new feature. Using a special of the social network, gives the possibility of rating the content. Raters are asked to interact with the content normally, as they have always done, and then answer questions about their experience, but also write a paragraph describing their feelings about what they experienced.

This research was launched only in August of 2014, and has already given some interesting ideas, such as this confirmation of Facebook content.

Facebook currently has approximately 600 auditors for the project, but intends to continue adding new members as tests continue. With a continuing trend towards automation, this particular research done with the interaction of real people is a welcome change.
