> Why didn't they just keep the news editors they started with? It seems completely rational to keep news editors on staff to run a news service. I don't think it is that easy to curate the timeline of millions of people. Furthermore, people want to see what they want to see, it sounds stupid but if people were just interested in mainstream media they'd use google news. I don't know a single person that uses google news as a source of news. On the other hand, plenty of people only check news shared by their siblings,relatives,friend network... after all, Facebook is a social network, the ability to share content from the internet is what made it successful against other social networks like MySpace.
