Here are some of the important words from Zuckerberg's during the press event,
"The news feed is one of the most important things we've built," Likening news feed to "the most personalized newspaper," "the stories around you deserve to be displayed with more than just text."
"How we're all sharing is changing and the news feed needs to evolve with those changes. This is the evolving face of news feed."
"It is designed for the way we are sharing today and the trends we see going forward," "I don't foresee Facebook offering its own content."
"It should have a front page and top news section or let you drill down into any topic you want."
It will start rolling out from today itself. Some users are really lucky to play around with it already.
