Introducing the 'Future' of Facebook - "PAPER"

Introducing the 'Future' of Facebook - "PAPER"
Basically Flipboard + FB + Instagram + Google Reader + YouTube in ONE app!

 Earlier this week, a tiny secret division of Facebook, called Creative Labs, released an iPhone app, Paper.  It’s a way to experience Facebook so novel that it barely resembles Facebook at all. There is no News Feed, no Timeline, no stream of any kind. The main screen is divided into two squares stacked on top of each other. The top square is a full-bleed photo overlaid with the word “Facebook” and a headline, in crisp white text. Swiping left or right on the top square moves between customizable “sections”: in addition to your friends’ updates, the traditional Facebook content, there are categories such as news, photography, sports, and food. Each is reportedly curated by editors at Facebook—real, human editors who pick articles from select publications, and Facebook posts from well-known people, to feature in each section.

Paper presents stories from the user's Facebook news feed as well as outside sources in a sparse, gesture-based user interface reminiscent of the Flipboard newsreader. Content is segregated into themed sections — the news feed is first, and users can mix-and-match other sections with topics like photography and sports. 

The bottom half of the screen is taken up by up a horizontal row of cards—Google’s favorite post-stream metaphor, too—each one representing a single item, like a status update, link, or photo gallery. Again, you swipe left or right to move from one card to another. When you touch or zoom in on one, the card takes up the whole screen. If it’s a link and you tap it, the card unfolds—with an exquisite animation—and reveals a full-screen view of the original site. Swiping down folds the site back up, returning you to Paper, to flick through more cards.

Facebook's photo and video viewing experience has also received an overhaul in Paper. Videos will automatically play in full-screen mode, and users can pan around large photos by tilting their iPhone.

The app provides a WYSIWYG, or what-you-see-is-what-you-get, interface for posting content. The preview that users see on screen reflects exactly what the post will look like when viewed in Paper by others. 

Paper will be available for download only on iPhone for now (Android version will follow soon) from 3rd February in US.click the link blow to get the video how it work
