Daily News… FACEBOOK NEWS FEED BECOMES PERSONAL NEWSPAPER Facebook on Thursday began transforming the stream of updates from friends at home pages into a «personalized newspaper» with news ranging from the personal to the global. The News Feed on home pages at the leading social network was revamped to get rid of clutter and present «bright, beautiful» stories whether they are insights from friends or trending news of the day. «I think there is a special place in the world for this sort of personalized newspaper,» Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said in introducing the overhauled News Feed. «It should have a front page and top news section or let you drill down into any topic you want.» Facebook began rolling out the new News Feed «very slowly» at its website reached by desktop or laptop and planned to begin adding it to its smartphone and tablet applications in the coming weeks. Each News Feed will automatically be tuned to the interests of individual Facebook users, according to technical lead Chris Struhar. Pictures in the feed will be gleaned from posts by friends or online pages people have indicated the «like.» If a Facebook user follows pages from CNN or other professional media organizations, top shared or trending stories are displayed. Music or film lovers should see News Feeds touting fresh developments regarding bands, stars, movies, songs or other related subjects. Struhar told AFP that «we hope you get all you need» without having to leave Facebook to seek stories at websites such as Google News or Yahoo! News. «We’ve spent a lot of time talking to the people who use News Feed every day,» Struhar said. «They want more choice and more control over stories they are seeing on their home pages.» While the amount of content shared at Facebook has soared, the amount of time people have to spend at the social network remains limited, inspiring the drive to more efficiently connect people with news they most care about, according to Facebook.

International News… FIRST JOLIE-PITT ROSE WINE VINTAGE The first 6,000 bottles of Miraval rose wine from a French vineyard owned by Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sold out Thursday within hours of going on general sale. «Selling started at 9:00 am and everything was sold by 2:00 pm» during the online sale, said Vitabella, a public relations firm representing the vineyard. The vineyard’s website also said that orders for the 2012 vintage were now closed. The couple teamed up with the French winemaking Perrin family to develop the «Miraval Cotes de Provence» label, named after their Chateau Miraval estate in the south of France.
RANDY PANDAS GET PRIVACY A pair of pandas in the mood for mating were being given a bit of space on Thursday, with Japanese zookeepers hoping they would have more success if the public was kept away. Female panda Shin Shin has begun to behave in a way indicating she is receptive to male advances, say officials at Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital, who add they want her and her beau Ri Ri to have privacy to procreate in peace. «We have seen Shin Shin showing signs that she is in heat, so we have suspended public viewing and are getting ready to put her and Ri Ri together,» said zoo official Mikako Kaneko.
