Facebook App Center goes full circle, rolls out to all users worldwide

While Mark’s network had already flipped the App Center switch in a number of parts around the globe, there was still a large chunk of its abundant user base missing out on the recently unveiled application hub. That’s all about to change starting today, however, as a Facebook rep has announced on Twitter the social app shop is now available to every single one of its signees worldwide.

Facebook’s App Center is having its passport stamped quite a lot lately. Just days after the HTML5 app portal set foot in the UK, it’s making the leap to seven more countries. Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey will all get a crack at using web apps both on the desktop as well as in the Android and iOS native clients.

Facebook's App Center pokes its way into the UK, now available to you and your friends

It’s been nearly a month since we saw Facebook officially introduce us to its newly minted App Center, and now Zuck & Co. are taking the application-loaded service to internet grounds over in the UK. Facebook’s App Center in the Kingdom (or, as UKers call it, App Centre) won’t be much different in comparison to its American counterpart, thus you’ll still be able to grab all those big-name apps like the network’s own Instagram, Draw Something, Spotify and Pinterest — of course, there’s over 600 others to choose from. In addition to these, though, there are some Euro-specific additions to the application mix, including Deezer’s music streaming goods. Eager to find out what all the App Centre fuss is about? Then head over to the source below, where you’ll be able to poke around it yourself.
