On Facebook they don't sit idly by. And it is that beyond a social network they are a company in constant evolution. Thus, it is rumored about a new project that would be about to see the light. A new tool or application to be aware of everything that interests the user, with news , status updates and other informationSomething that inevitably reminds us of the Flipboard news aggregator A project that would already be in its final phase, finalizing the preparations for its publication.
This project would have the name Paper, according to the sources cited by the specialized media Recode (formerly known as AllThingsD). An application that would be specially developed for mobile devices, but also for the web, and that would work as a news aggregator where you can read information of interest. To do this, it would collect news and other media content such as The Washington Post or The New York Times, but also data about contacts and users of the social network Facebook, such as status updates. All this mixed in a tool with a curious visual aspect that seeks to represent the old newspapers, trying to mark the differences with the digital age.Data that have not yet been officially confirmed.
The source cited by Recode also indicates that the status of Paperwould be close to completion, receiving the final touches before going on the market. Apparently, this event could occur even before the end of this month of January, so we should be attentive to any possible appointment that arises fromFacebook Of course, it is to be hoped that it will not be a global launch. Especially considering that you will use local sources of information.
Paper seems to be a project several years in the making. A project that arises after the continuous work to improve the section Latest News from the social network FacebookHowever, after years of experimentation, changes, cancellations and visual modifications, the improvement project was divided, being one of those resulting points what will be the application Paper A logical question since it would collect news and social information, a point at which Facebook has worked to improve its social network.
At the moment there is no confirmation or official data. And it is that from Facebook they prefer not to make any comments or statements about rumors and speculation. Therefore, we will still have to wait to see the possibilities of this vision of Flipbaord with which, according to Recode's source, it has a lot to do with. An application that would also stand out for its visual design, seeking to surprise the user but also recall the times of the paper newspaper. The good thing is that, if these rumors are to be followed, the wait won't be too long, despite the fact that Facebook has not yet called any kind of conference or presentation yet.
