SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook Inc put an end to a test of splitting its signature News Feed into two, an idea that roiled how people consumed news in the six countries where it occurred and added to concern about Facebook's power.

The test created two streaming series of posts. One was focused on photos and other updates from friends and family, and a second was called an "explore feed."
