Can anyone tell me what is story bumping in Facebook?

Every time you come to your feed, Facebook takes all the new posts and assigns it a score. Right now, it’s difficult for users to scroll through and discover older content. The company had an idea to change the model a bit — instead of taking all the new stories and putting them at the top of your News Feed, it’s tweaking it so that the stories that are new to you are at the top.

In other words:

When users load up Facebook in the morning, a finite number of stories are shown on screen. They can scroll to view additional stories, but inevitably users leave some unread before clicking elsewhere. Story bumping ensures that when the user logs-in to Facebook later in the day, some of these unread stories are brought to the top of their News Feed alongside whatever has been posted since they last accessed the social network.

With Story Bumping, it’s going to highlight the content that you might not get to (instead of find interesting) while perhaps standing in a lunch line.
