Facebook updating its News Feed

March 7, 2013 Updated Mar 7, 2013 at 3:58 PM CDT

MENLO PARK, Calif. -- NBC News is reporting that Facebook is getting set to roll out a significant update to their News Feed.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a Thursday press conference that Facebook wanted to design "the best possible newspaper".

Users will be able to filter their News Feed for specific items such as photos, music-related posts, sports-related posts, and so on.

There will now be a way to see all the posts made by your friends, in chronological order, in a single feed.

There'll also be a "Following" feed which will include posts form all the Pages you like and people whom you follow (but with whom you are not friends).

The desktop versions of the new feed are starting to be rolled out on Thursday. Mobile versions of the update are expected in the coming weeks.
