The Paper is a Facebook update for mobile devices, focusing on updating and images rather than on friends' timelines.
A new application for iOS called Paper Announced Facebook, which presents the user with articles and updates that are normally presented in the News Feed, but does so in a way that is customized to handheld data.
It's actually a Facebook update for mobile devices, focusing on updating and images rather than on friends timelines. The user, instead of "dropping" into long lists of status updates, comments, and various publications, scrolls horizontally to a more "neat" and friendly to locate and read publications interface. Each article appears in a full-screen presentation, "no distractions," with captions and comments being displayed in pictures and videos.
Although in the first "shot" it paper will quote News Feed, users will be able to tailor their feeds to their own preferences, selecting topics that interest them, and publishing directly on Facebook. As noted in the relevant announcement, everything is at the touch of the user, who can navigate with simple, natural gestures.
This is the first Facebook Creative Labs product. The release of Paper will begin in the US on Feb. 3, and promises to change how users interact with status updates, photos and videos, as well as informational material from various sources. In fact, this is an application that "promises" a new way of approaching Facebook, while retaining its most basic features.
According to Guardian, Paper is intended to promptly trigger the Flipboard, which presents publications in the form of a "magazine". The Flipboard draws information and entertainment from Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. It is noted that the Flipboard had about 85 million users in September of 2013 and is targeting 150 million by the end of 2014.
