As you may already be aware, on January 11, 2018 Facebook announced a major change to its News Feed algorithm that will profoundly impact brands’ ability to reach people on Facebook through organic distribution.  This change has affected the ShowMe Times and how you see articles, photos, and postings.

"The change prioritizes interactions between friends and family over company-generated posts, meaning that content consumed directly from business pages on Facebook will shrink and content that is shared & talked about between friends will grow."

In particular, posts that generate “interactions” such as comments and shares will be weighted more heavily than post that generate just likes or reactions. In addition, posts with longer comments will be weighted more heavily than those with short ones.

People browsing Facebook will see more content from friends and family and less from brands and publishers.

The ShowMe Times needs your help by commenting and sharing each of the articles posted as well as photo albums so that everyone can see them.  Several people have texted or messaged the ShowMe Times looking for articles that were already posted, but they did not see in their news feed.  If each person shares, likes, or comments on just a couple of the posts each day that would help greatly with keeping the information available to the public.  A huge thank you in advance and the ShowMe Times appreciates each and everyone of you!  Positive news matters!
