Facebook reportedly working on news readerJune 24, 2013 - 14:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook Inc. is aiming to become a newspaper for mobile devices, The Wall Street Journal reported. The social network has been quietly working on a service, internally called Reader, that displays content from Facebook users and publishers in a new visual format tailored for mobile devices, people with knowledge of the matter said, according to the Journal. The project, which the company has been developing for more than a year, is designed to showcase news content in particular. Recent versions of Reader resemble Flipboard Inc., a smartphone and tablet app that aggregates stories from multiple sources and lets users swipe to flip through articles, said the people with knowledge of the project. While it's unclear when Facebook will be ready to unveil the product, if it ever is, the Reader project is a sign the company is trying to get users to spend more time with it on mobile devices—and to see more ads, according to the Journal.
