I'm half-curious but mostly concerned about the latest change scheduled to occur with Facebook's news feed, described by the Associated Press, via CBC as being a big change, whatever it is, since Facebook apparently hasn't provided any details about what this change will involve.

Amid chatter of "Facebook fatigue," real or imagined, the world's biggest social networking company is getting ready to unveil a new version of News Feed, the flow of status updates, photos and advertisements its users see on the site.

Facebook Inc. is hosting an event at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters at 10 a.m. PT on Thursday to show off "a new look for News Feed."

The company offered no other details on what the changes will be in an invitation sent to journalists and bloggers. It will be Facebook's second staged event at its headquarters since the company's May initial public offering. The company unveiled a search feature at the first one in January.

If past site changes are any indication, the News Feed tweaks may take some getting used to and will likely lead to user grumbles.
