Facebook Will Likely Launch A News Reader At June 20th Press Event
The upcoming death of Google Reader, RSS code in Facebook API, and the recent launch of hashtags signal that Facebook will likely launch a news reader at the June 20th press event it’s just sent out mysterious invites to. A news reader app and web product could take advantage of Facebook’s massive treasure trove of aggregate data on what people share. The event invite first spotted by Joanna Stern of ABC News says “A small team has been working on a big idea. Join us for coffee and learn about a new product.” The conspicuously analog invite was sent out via snail mail instead of by email like Facebook usually does. There’s also a coffee stain on the invite. You know where else you find coffee stains? On the news paper, while you’re reading it, over coffee. When Facebook launched hashtags earlier this week it noted “Hashtags are just the first step to help people more easily discover what others are saying about a specific topic and participate in public conversations. We’ll continue to roll out more features in the coming weeks and months” A reader could be the next step.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/eZm7eJbS-mg/
