Facebook Home Announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
“What if our phones were designed around people and not apps?” asked Mark Zuckerberg, and I guess he has the answer to that rhetorical question of his. In fact, Facebook has decided that the smartphone’s home screen should be more about content rather than a list of apps, but this paradigm shift will certainly take some getting used to, and I will be the first to admit that. Of course, there is also every possibility that this idea might catch up on desktop operating systems down the road, but that remains to be seen.
Facebook Home is the social network’s initiative to turn things upside down, where your friends’ updates will be seen in real-time on your device’s home screen. To “Like” a photo, all it takes is a double tap, and you’re good to go. Apart from that, swiping notifications might be something you as a social butterfly could get used to eventually, with Chat Heads being the “main course”, so to speak, of Facebook Home.
