      I find this article newsworthy because so many people use Facebook to communicate, and updates and improvements to the site make this possible. The newsworthy qualities that this story contains are proximity, timeliness, and importance/impact. Proximity is because Facebook is an international institution that is available to all, therefore the story takes place just within people's computer screens. The story is timely because the news was received from Facebook officials just yesterday, and published today, and the story has great impact because of the incredible numbers of Facebook users.
