PRINEVILLE, Oregon — Tucked deep in a Facebook (http://mashable.com/category/facebook/) data center, amid hundreds of humming server racks, nearly 2,000 smartphones are running some some version of a Facebook app.
Some are scrolling through the News Feed, Facebook's **toriously algorithmic and somehow always-controversial stream of updates from its users. Other devices are launching Messenger (http://mashable.com/category/facebook-messenger/), the spin-off messaging app Facebook made a requirement for users about two years ago. Some of the phones are rebooting. At least one is scrolling through Lady Gaga's official Facebook page.*
