"Facebook uses secret algorithms and they decide based on your activity, your friends activity, who likes what, what might be most important to you,” said social media maven Steve Garfield. “They're actually reducing the noise of the internet."
Other changes include friend lists like Twitter, a real time ticker and promises of better video and music interfaces. Social media maven Steve Garfield says it's no coincidence that Facebook launched its revamp the same day Google+ opened membership of its new social network to the general public.
"They just added all these features that Facebook didn't have." said Garfield. "Facebook had to do something because of defectors//going to Google+ and I was one of them"

Steve Garfield, a Boston online video personality, consultant, and author, remembered being wowed by Apple at the Boston Computer Society meeting in 1984, when Jobs introduced the first Macintosh computer to an enthusiastic crowd of local computer hobbyists.
“He took the Macintosh out of a bag and let it introduce itself, in that computer voice,’’ Garfield recalled. “The audience went absolutely crazy. People were screaming.’’
Garfield bought that first version of the Macintosh, and since then has purchased “at least 10 Apple products: a bunch of iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, iPads. What I like about them is that you just turn them on and they work.
“Take a look at the remote control to your cable box, with all its buttons, then look at an iPhone,’’ Garfield said. “That shows you how Jobs charted a completely different path.’’
Steve Garfield, wrote: "Wow! All my neighbors just came outside. We all felt the earthquake in Boston."

Steve Garfield, Author of “Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business.”
I’d say it has a lot to do with whether or not it’s been shared in your trusted network of peers. I recently shared the music video parody “Perform This Way” by Weird Al Yankovich. I first saw it posted on Twitter by my friend Scott Beal aka @laughingsquid. He linked to over to an embedded video on his blog, which I followed because he’s a trusted source of mine for good content. The video had me crying tears of joy while I watched it. That’s a good indication that others will like it too. So I shared it via VHX.tv, which sent it to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
What makes a video worth sharing? “A trusted network.”
