Facebook has reportedly begun testing a new one application which will display news, and send notifications to users from the pages they are subscribed to.
In order to better compete with Twitter, Facebook has added a few new ones characteristics που καθιστούν το κοινωνικό network similar to the micro-blogging network.
A few years ago, the company released trending themethe something similar to Twitter trends, but the feature it never worked the way it does 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 a person who participates in the company's testing.
It seems that users should download and install a separate application to receive notifications from news reports (unless the application is integrated into an existing application).
Publishers will have in their hands a dashboard that will allow them to send notifications with 100 characters (reminds you of something?) That will probably be present in the new app.
Facebook had also recently announced the "Instant Articles" feature that will work with selected news agencies and will enable them to publish their articles instantly using the social network.
But it seems that this feature was not well received and Breaking News sounds like an alternative way to get Facebook into this space.
