PRODUCT OR PROJECT DESCRIPTIONProduct description
Facebook Paper is a convenient and socially optimized news reader for RSS users who have not found a replacement for Google Reader. It allows all 1.1 billion Facebook users to find news from a single source they already use. The reader has an advantage over competition because Facebook has more data on their users and the users already read, share and comment on news in Facebook.
