Revealed by Facebook at F8 2010, EdgeRank is the algorithm Facebook uses to determine what pieces of News Feed content are most important or relevant to a user. Facebook calculates the EdgeRank for every piece of News Feed content, which consists of three factors: d_e, how recently the content was created (newer content is favored); w_e, the weight for the type of content (more engaging types of content like photos and videos are favored); and u_e, the measure of the affinity between the user and the owner of the content (more affinity is favored).
