In the company Facebook they know that the present and the future pass through mobile phones. They have demonstrated it with increasing profits thanks to their applications, and they want to continue testing it with new toolsThus, now the development of a new application is known within its collection of independent tools that it already has. A tool focused on raging news and latest-minute informationAll this so that users are aware of what is happening in the world through their mobile screen.
The information comes from the medium Business Insider, who has been able to verify thanks to some screenshots and a source related to Facebook the work that this company is carrying out. At the moment it is an application in alpha phase That is, in the beginning of its developmentHowever, we already have some details about its operation and, above all, its main mission, which is focused on bring current news to the user directly from the media that publish
For now it is known that the application will allow the user to choose different means of communication available in this tool, and the specific topics about which you want to be informed.Apparently Facebook has started working only with a small selection of posts Something that reminds enough to the news aggregators and readers that can be found in the market. The difference is that this application will send notifications to the user instantly after posting new information on the desired topics.
These notifications will be mere warnings created by the media themselves to be aware of what has happened, reporting through a maximum of 100 characters of the event Of course, the notification includes a link to access the news on the page of the publication , where to expand data and know all the details. All of this instantly and without having to actively search for information, as is the case with regular news readers.
This new Facebook newsfeed app is somewhat reminiscent of the new tab that the network social Twitter has been testing iOS terminals for the last week A section specially dedicated to the last minute, thus knowing what happens in the world at the moment in which the related media and users count it using 140 characters AND It is that it has been common for these two companies to copy each other and step on each other's heels in terms of functions and designs.
At the moment those responsible for Facebook have not wanted to confirm or deny the development of this news application. But everything suggests that the company is quite interested in bringing information to users. Something that he has already been doing through his own social network, where the media have found a good vein to reach readers, and which it seems they will also be able to take advantage of through your new news applicationOf course, we will still have to wait to see how it looks and what additions it will bring with it, and if it really ends up seeing the light.
