Soon you won't need an internet connection in order to see what's going on in your friends' lives as Facebook tests offline News Feed updates.
The new offline/slow connection mode will give users something new to read even when in a signal black spot by showing previously downloaded but unread content from your friends' feeds.
Just like its online News Feed, the offline mode will rank posts based on their perceived relevance, meaning you won't simply be subjected to that random guy from work's inane chatter and breakfast snaps.
