Facebook kills News Feed voting feature, just as advertisers start to praise it
Nicholas Carlson · 04/15/08 09:00PMFacebook today removed the choice between a "thumbs-up" or "X" icon it used to give users for each item in their News Feed. The icons let them vote for or against each item, and in the process train Facebook on which items to display. Taking this feature away was not a good idea. Just today, a prominent ad executive singled it out for praise.
