Maybe it's just an error for me, but Facebook is looking a lot more like FriendFeed. Posts from several days ago are at the top of the feed because new comments or likes have been added.

I have posts at the top of my stream from September 3, with comments added within the last hour. Posts from today are further down the list.
- Ben Hanten
I just noticed that too.

For me it just looks like an error. Some posts aren't showing up for me at all. After a page reload they do, after another refresh, I'm usually back to square one... Also some comments are missing, but show up after a refresh.
- Holger Eilhard
Actually, I'm getting old stuff popping back up with no updates. The newer stuff isn't below the "updates". I'm calling it an error.

I don't know... It seems pretty weird that all of the posts at the top have comments and likes. Is this more than an error?
- Ben Hanten
For me, there are no updated comments or additional likes. And stuff from earlier this morning is nonexistant. <shrug> I'm hoping they're working on truly real time updates!

Ahh hell. Now it's back to normal. It did it for me several times, now it won't do it. Maybe they are testing things out, though?
- Ben Hanten
And now it's back. WTF
- Ben Hanten
Let's just say: "There's something afoot" :-)
- Holger Eilhard
Back and forth every two minutes or so. Goes to the old way then back to things with most recent comments and likes at the top.

Chrome.

Same thing is happening in IE
- Ben Hanten
Chrome here as well. I'm vaguely tempted to see what happens when I click "News Feed" versus "Home" versus "Facebook" buttons.
- CAJ was here
I did that CAJ. Thought there was a pattern there, but it keeps switching back and forth every few minutes no matter what I do.
- Ben Hanten
Ben, yup. It's been acting flaky most of the weekend for me.
- CAJ was here
I haven't seen the new way at all. Perhaps you people are part of an elite test group? ("Hey, Bret, shall we try the new feed on this guy?")
- John E. Bredehoft
Facebook's been doing some sort of maintenance all weekend. Not sure what they're working on or if they're just stablizing their infrastructure.
- Jesse Stay
I just had this too, but after a few reloads it finally displayed all the most recent news feed items.
- Tony Ruscoe
Doing it on Firefox, too. There's not a definite pattern, but it seems like if you hit the "news feed" link to refresh it happens more often.
- Ben Hanten
What's most fascinating to me is that it either is up to date or a certain set of older posts. Like there's a server that's not getting updated or something. YMMV.
- CAJ was here
Yeah the more I watch it the more that makes sense to me, CAJ. Still I find it weird that the posts it displays are not in order by original post date, but by most recent update.
- Ben Hanten
I'm not seeing anything.
- mike fabio
I think it's possible that the glitch we were seeing the other day is what "top posts" are at lite.facebook.com Very similar to what we were seeing that day.
