Business wise, I'm sure it's a good idea for them.

Unfortunately I don't completely trust Facebook to be impartial the news they report.

They could very easily skew a narrative on a particular issue by placing news articles they agree with at the top, and not displaying articles that they don't agree with.

That said, it's their business and they can do with it what they want, and it's still our decision if we want to use that feature.

Anybody else having their browser history busted by visiting the link? Looks like it opens a new window for this page, and then closes the old one.

Worked fine on Chrome, but broke the back button on Firefox.

Wow that landing page has an animated marquee sort of banner (a bunch of company logos sliding across horizontally), and instead of using CSS transforms, they've done it with a 23mb gif. Really curious as to why.
