Facebook tests features among small pools of users to see how they interact with new interfaces. If they receive positive feedback and meet usability benchmarks, they push the change to the entire userbase.
Short answer: yes, pretty much.

- ceslami 16y agoWith a feature like that, they aren't analyzing what people _say_ about it. They are testing the way people interact with it. Perhaps they will test how many images users with the lightbox will look through on average compared to those without it.
