Facebook is rolling out a new feature called “Latest Conversations” in its search results that will show the most recent public posts about timely topics that a lot of people across its network are discussing. The unit gives you a wider view of what people are saying about a news story or other subject by exposing you to sentiments being expressed outside your social circle.
After searching a news topic, Facebook will now display public user generated posts from users outside your own personal network, along with a live ticker estimating the number of people engaging with the topic.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed that the new feature is more than just one of the many A/B tests that crop up from time to time on the network.
"We're rolling out a new section in search results that will show the most recent public posts about timely topics that a lot of people are discussing on Facebook,"
While the feature feels more experimental, Facebook confirmed that it’s rolling out to users now. We’re currently seeing it in Facebook’s mobile app, but not on the web.
