#132I'm impressed by how much CPU this website is able to use. It pegged all 8 cores at 100% while I had the website open on firefox/win7
Wrong browser/OS then. On Safari/Mac it runs on an aging dual-core i7 Macbook Air with around 20% CPU
...an "aging" ~two-year-old laptop with a top of the line processor?

#134Instead of pulling information from the marketing page, why not just read the PR release instead http://newsroom.fb.com/News/793/Introducing-Paper-Stories-fr...

>Show me why this app is useful and why I need it Advertising hasn't worked that way in almost a hundred years. It's simply vastly less effective than selling an identity. The real secret is, it works even if you hate hipsters. In fact, they know you hate hipsters, and that's why they're in the ad. http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/11/advertisings_collater...
Still, I didn't make it through the video, and then I came here to find the most highly voted echoed my own thoughts about it. It makes me think that they missed the mark.
The point is, the ad is not aimed at your conscious mind. How you think you feel about it after watching isn't really relevant.

#137I'm excited to give this a spin, and that's saying a lot considering I haven't touched FB in a few years now. It's nice to see them innovating with new ideas and products, instead of iterating on their existing main platform. What's interesting is that their mobile strategy involves grabbing as much of your screen real estate as possible, with the FB app, FB Messenger, Instagram, and now Paper. I guess that was obvio…
It's exciting to see them developing the platform but I feel like they are moving in the wrong direction. The success of recent startups (eg snapchat) has shown that we're moving to a more ephemeral and brief form of communication among our peers rather than sharing entire stories.

#138This reminds me of drop.io - a company Facebook purchased several years ago. I suspect Lessin, one of the founders and a writer played a role in this very polished storytelling metaphor for what amounts to content integration and sharing utility. If they carryover the phone, chat and other mediums from drop.io they may have something.

#139This looks like the work of Mike Matas and the rest of the team from Push Pop Press. Nice to see them be able to work on a full experience like this after being acquired by Facebook.
