Algorithms make the world go round. They filter what you see and they define how things are ordered. And you cannot see them which makes them not only powerful but also rather creepy.
One of the more powerful algorithms is Facebook’s Edgerank aka Newsfeed algorithm. What it essentially does is to define which of your 769 friend’s content you see and what you don’t see. Sounds simple? No, it isn’t. Check out the infographic below to learn how Pagerank works. And if you have a bit of time, check out this fantastic TED talk on algorithms. Thanks to allfacebook for the link.
