The difference between Facebook’s Mini Feed and News Feed

I found this explanation useful:

When Facebook users join your group, RSVP to your event, become fans of your page, share your photos, or further engage with your brand in any of these channels, Facebook automatically adds a feed item to their Mini Feed. That feed item exists for all to see, and is often in a prominent location on Facebook profile pages. Facebook’s News Feed, which occupies most of the login landing page, then amalgamates each user’s friends’ Mini Feeds into one unified stream of “recent news”. It’s possible that one Mini Feed item generated by a Facebook user could be seen in hundreds of their friends’ News Feeds.

About Phoenomi

We like to build uniquely fun and viral web products that our fellow Internet Machine users can use and love. Faceplanting is our first, and we love it because while it's basically just a fun toy, it's also innovative and has massive global appeal. It will make the world smile.

But Faceplanting is just the beginning. We've got three more projects in the works that will affect the world in big ways. We hope you'll stay tuned to this blog to see how this story pans out.

For the curious, Phoenomi is pronounced fee-nah-mee and is a mashup of the words "phoenix", "phenom", and "tsunami".

Thanks for visiting.
