RW: “Facebook “Paper” App Attempts To Reimagine How You Read The News – Paper is not a launcher. It is an app, on iOS but not yet Android. It is attractive and makes Facebook more pleasant to read and to share. Whether it will be a hit is anyone’s guess. The app economy has no shortage of news apps available, from Flipboard to Zite, News360, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and so forth. Facebook may find it difficult to dislodge the incumbents in the news app space.”
TC: “Facebook Announces Paper, A Curated Visual News Reader Launching Feb. 3 On iOS. – If Paper succeeds, it could get more people sharing publicly. Who wouldn’t want the chance to be surfaced in Paper and accrue legions of Likes and new followers? This incentive could sway content creators from ditching Facebook for Twitter, and is just one more way the social network is trying to steal thunder from the micro-blogging service. – The web’s a big place, but Paper could use big data and big-brained editors to make it feel small enough to comprehend, just a like a newspaper.”
TC: “Facebook’s New “Creative Labs” Lets The 6,000-Employee Giant Move Fast Like A Startup – It might not be as sexy as Google X with its self-driving cars and smart contact lens moonshots, but Facebook Creative Labs could make its employees feel like they’re the ones in a Harvard dorm room doing it the Hacker Way.”
GO: “Facebook heard you like newspapers, so it decided to make a newspaper app out of your Facebook – Of course, not every standalone app that Facebook launches is a success – after all, it tried to get users interested in Poke, an app that was designed to compete with the viral success of Snapchat, but went down in flames. The multimillion-dollar question is whether Paper will be something that people want to spend more time with, or whether it will just feel like a tabloid stapled together from items they’ve already seen in their news feed, or a pale imitation of Flipboard.”
VB: “Facebook to launch standalone news app ‘Paper’ – It seems almost like Facebook, in realizing the potential of its news feed, set out to create an app that would replace the morning and evening ritual of reading the local newspaper.”
AF: “Facebook To Debut Paper App For IPhone Feb. 3 – Re/code reported earlier this week that Facebook has been hiring contract editors to work on Paper, and those editors are responsible for curating the content that appears in the app’s sections, adding that only content that has already been shared on Facebook by publishers will appear in Paper.”
IF: “Facebook announces Paper – iPhone app available Feb. 3 – Much like Flipboard [or Pinterest], users can also curate “sections,” for categories of news they like and want to read. For instance, a user can have a special section for sports news, or news about a specific topic or country, and Paper will provide stories fit for that interest.”
