Facebook is preparing a special news app

Facebook reportedly has begun testing in a new application that will display news, and will send alerts to users from the pages that are registered.

In order to compete better with Twitter, Facebook added some new features that make the social network similar to the micro-blogging network. Facebook Breaking News

A few years ago, the company released the trending themes something similar to Twitter's trends, but the feature never worked as it works on Twitter.

The fact has been to turn a number of Twitter stakeholders who are currently very good news.

However, Facebook seems to be trying to change this, with an application that will allow news agencies to instantly notify users of each new news item that is displayed.

The Business Insider managed to get a screenshot of the app and talk to one who participates in the company's tests.

Apparently users will have to download and install a separate app to receive notifications from ( and if the specific application is integrated into an existing one).

Publishers will have their hands on one which will allow them to send notifications with 100 characters (remind you of something?) which will probably be in the new app.

Το Faceboοk είχε ανακοινώσει πρόσφατα και το χαρακτηριστικό "Instant Articles" που θα συνεργάζεται με επιλεγμένα ειδησεογραφικά πρακτορεία και θα τους δίνει τη δυνατότητα να δημοσιεύουν άμεσα τα άρθρα τους χρησιμοποιώντας το κοινωνικό δίκτυο.
But it seems that this feature was not well received and Breaking News sounds like an alternative way to get Facebook into this space.
