What is the difference between the “Live Feed” and the “News Feed” on Facebook?

In its seemingly constant quest to redesign itself, Facebook now has two ways to see what your friends have been up to all day. Just click on the Home link after logging into your Facebook account.

Click on Live Feed to see a real-time stream of all the things your friends are doing on Facebook at that very moment. The News Feed, on the other hand, is more of an aggregated highlight tour of what Facebook thinks are the most interesting things your friends have been up to lately on the site.

If you haven’t logged in for a while, the News Feed may give you a more general summary of your friends’ universe, while the Live Feed may be more satisfying for those who stay logged in all day and want frequent updates. You can customize either feed by using the Hide button to remove updates from certain people or applications. Just wave the mouse over the right side of the update to see the Hide button appear
