What a bunch of grumpy old men. I bet everybody sitting here taking shots at this app 1) have never created anything nearly as cool 2) would not have understood Apple in its hayday 3) spend too much time reading and taking shots at other people's work. I'm all for being cynical and questioning what's out there but you have to let the good stuff through. The design here is first class. The Facebook guys have outdone t…

#142Worst info site ever. I can't even tell what it is. An app? a model of phone? a website? a new facebook feature?

#145I wonder what 53 will make of Facebook's choice of App name? http://www.fiftythree.com/paper
I can't see that being confusing at all . A little bit sloppy from Facebook to be honest, it seems like they've gotten around it as Paper (by 53) is iPad only and Paper (by Facebook) is iPhone only. If anyone from Facebook is reading, Paperbook. Problem solved. EDIT: There's a Universal app called Paper as well.

#147Man, that video, typical marketing bullshit. First scene shows a guy writing on a typewriter, next scene shows someone hanging up Polaroid pictures. Seriously? Show me why this app is useful and why I need it, instead of trying to lull me into a world that doesn't exist.
I agree. Its become almost formulaic: cue hipster/light-hearted/playful music, show several emotionally engaging images with over-the-top DOF blur, narrate about how some mundane product that sucks us away from "real life" activities is tied to making the world a better, more engaging place.

#148I watched the video. I don't understand what paper is. Actually, the only reason I watched it was because I somehow confused myself into thinking this was Amazon. When I was done with the video, I finally realized this is Facebook and it all made sense. I still don't know what "paper" is of course. Now I need my coffee.
