the folloving is part of our series,Facebook Tips,which answers some of the most commonly asked questions about using Facebook.While we hope these tips are Informative ,we are unable to answer individual questions on this site.Visit the Help Center for more iinformation about any topics we cover.
last time I checked ,I had 845 Facebook friends. that's a lot of people with news to share, but facebook's home page can organize these stories for me into two easy-to-follow views of my News Feed-a summery of some of the top stories called"Top News"and I live feed of all stories called"Most Recent." Here's how the two viewes work:
Top News
If you haven't logged onto Facebook in a while , your home page will default to this view.
Top News shows popular stories from your favorite friends and pages,many of which have gained lots of attention since ot the last time you checked.In this view,you might find out about an old friend becoming engaged or see a hilarious video that your sister posted and that tons of your friends liked.

Thanks for the information. I use facebook everyday, and what I use to look first is the top news, because there I usually find all that I'm really interested to know.
Most recent news are good if you want to find something that happened recently.

I'm not sure but I think Top news means that these are the news with the most activity such as most likes or comments while Most recent well... that's self-explanatory.

Most recent are the latest facebook update of your friends. While the Top News are also the latest facebook update of your friends but the difference is the sorting. Because it is sorted from the post who has many replies to the most fewest post. In that way you could now the trending topic of your friends in the facebook. It makes me easier to know the latest gossip of my friends :).
