I might have used that if it was made by a company like Twitter.... which advertises, but doesn't meddle with the content. But seeing that it's Facebook, most of the stories we see will be targeted towards our 'Likes' and the rest will be targeted ads.

Worst info site ever. I can't even tell what it is.

An app? a model of phone? a website? a new facebook feature?

Anybody know how they kept the phone so still in those videos? The hand holding it doesn't move. Is there a pole underneath attaching it to a surface we can't see?

It looks like most of it is an image, with an animation put inside: https://fbcdn-dragon-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t39.2365...

Some beautiful design and thoughtful UI in the app here, and this is also a lovely microsite - I love the use of the video full screen. It'd be great to see some of this sort of thoughtful design go into the UI of web browsers on mobile platforms (which are also platforms for reading and sharing stories). Shame it's from Facebook.

Why is it shame its from facebook? FB has been at the forefront of awesome UI design concepts for al long time, specifically in mobile.

Because I don't trust them with my data.

I 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.

Is this a native app or a web app running in a browser? I watched the video (at work, so without sound) and I can't tell. If its browser based then I'm extremely impressed.
