"Facebook&amp;#039;s newly rolled out &amp;#039;Story Bump&amp;#039; function - along with other changes announced to News Feed at an event in London last night - will be mandatory. The tech firm confirmed on Tuesday (August 6) that News Feed changes trialled with a small number of the social networking site&amp;#039;s users will be implemented universally.  Following concerns from Digital Spy users that they might not be able to exempt themselves from the changes, Facebook has since confirmed to DS that members of the site won&amp;#039;t be able to opt out of the revised News Feed proposals. The new &amp;#039;Story Bump&amp;#039; function aims to change the News Feed to be more relevant to users. Stories posted by friends that Facebook&amp;#039;s algorithm deems important are automatically placed higher up in the News Feed. Other changes include the way in which stories display based around a user&amp;#039;s last 50 interactions on the site, giving more prominence to posts from friends that a user frequently interacts with.  Both of the News Feed tweaks are currently being rolled out to Facebook worldwide. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
