A lot of Facebook users are noticing that the ticker is gone from their homepage today.

The ticker, if you’re unaware, is the panel that shows every piece of activity your Facebook friends are engaging in. It’s like the News Feed, if the News Feed actually showed you everything. That means status updates, comments friends have made on others’ posts, things they listened to on Spotify, things they have liked, etc. All in real time.

Facebook launched embeddable posts in beta back in July, but while the company was working out the kinks they only opened them up to a handful of publishers.
Starting today, all publishers can embed any public posts on Facebook. We’re talking statuses, photos, links, and videos.
Embedded Facebook posts can be liked or shared directly from the site in which they’re embedded, and the embedded posts also allows readers to like the poster’s page and follow other posts from the author with a click on the upper right-hand drop-down button.

this week, Martin MacDonald, inbound marketing director at Expedia EAN, in a post on his website titled “#GoogleGate – Can you Trust Google?,” embedded a voice mail recording a Google AdWords account manager unknowingly left for a client.

He goes on to say he doesn’t care about  “those bridge pages or parked domains” the client apparently is using
