I don’t normally whinge about Facebook, I figure so what they a few changes, it’s not important enough to care too much about.
But at the moment I have to admit that it confuses me a little…
I had it set so I just saw status updates on my home page, but then realised that I was missing out on being told when friends put up photos, which sometimes I like to look at.
So I changed it back News Feed, there’s also that live feed too which I occasionally look at but I’m not sure what that is.
Now that I’ve gone to News Feed I find that statuses will pop up more that once and in front of newer ones. And if you flick between News Feed and statuses I see that not all the statuses show up in the News Feed…
What happened to the old showing all the status updates and photos and that together and me having to be able to flick over to just status updates if I want, or in the normal view just clicking to hide some of the stupid application updates forever.
Am I making sense?!

My understanding is that LiveFeed shows you pretty much everything that your friends are posting, in roughly chronological order.
NewsFeed seems to be a summary of what Facebook thinks you’ll be interested in, probably based on which friends you interact with most often on the site, and what sort of things you’ve posted/clicked on(?) in the past.
