What is he doing; Pilot the algorithm chosen by the articles published on facebook and decide on their luck.
It all started when in 2012 Greg Marra uploaded to ένα ψεύτικο προφίλ αυτόματο, το @Trackgirl,  που ήταν η ιδανική φίλη των ανθρώπων που λατρεύουν το τζόκινγκ. Αυτή η γυναίκα αλλελεπιδρούσε με τους φίλους της στο ίντερνετ, ανέβασε ποστ και σχολίαζε τα γεγονότα που είχαν να κάνουν με το τζόκινγκ. Γρήγορα απέκτησε followers αλλά όλοι αυτοί αγνοούσαν ότι πρόκειται στην πραγματικότητα για ένα .
This experience made Greg Marra famous through an article in the Wired magazine, which is very valid in the US for technology issues. Immediately, this young boy, working on Google, has passion with the robots and says he likes to create things that come alive on their own, was recruited by Mark Zuckerberg on facebook.

Decides on the articles we read

A month later, this graduate of Olin College, a renowned engineering school near Boston where he came from, became head of Facebook's newsfeed products. His job; Work on the algorithm that decides which articles will be high on the news.

If each of us has access to thousands of posts on facebook every day, facebook itself suggests about 300, which are sorted in some order. At the age of 26, Greg Marra has the ability to change what the approximately 1,3 billion Facebook members see on their page. That makes him one of the most influential people, according to the New York Times.
It has a tremendous influence especially in America, where the 20% of the news site traffic comes from facebook, according to a survey by SimpleReach. Currently, 30% of American adults use facebook to update on topical issues.

So facebook became one of the main news gates
Τα αμερικανικά μίντια εξαρτώνται λοιπόν όλο και περισσότερο από τον αλγόριθμο του Greg Marra, τόσο για την επισκεψιμότητα όσο και για τα έσοδα. «Πριν από 15 χρόνια η Google άλλαξε τη δημοσιογραφία εισάγοντας  την τεχνική του refercement. Σήμερα, είναι οι παράμετροι του facebook που αλλάζουν πάλι τη δημοσιογραφία. Αυτό που βλέπουμε είναι ότι το facebook μας επέτρεψε να κερδίσουμε τρομερή επισκεψιμότητα και να προσεγγίσουμε αναγνώστες που δεν θα μπορούσαμε αλλιώς να προσεγγίσουμε» αναφέρει ο Justin Green, ειδικός στα social media για την εφημερίδα Examine.
