Facebook’s Sponsored News Ticker
30/11/2011
There have been many recent changes to the Facebook Newsfeed including a 'News Ticker'.
Facebook have now also announced the News Ticker will contain adverts. The sponsored adverts will appear on the Ticker at the top right of the Facebook page, which shows quick news updates.
Some users are unhappy with this development, saying the change is to boost Facebook’s growing advertising platform and does not benefit the subsciber. Instead, perhaps, it bombards them with more adverts when there are already plenty on the site.
