Facebook 最新動向，是希望變成智能手機上的報紙，進入這個尚未完全開發但又潛力龐大的市場。
The social network has been quietly working on a service, internally called Reader, that displays content from Facebook users and publishers in a new visual format tailored for mobile devices, people with knowledge of the matter said.
While it’s unclear when Facebook will be ready to unveil the product, if it ever is, the Reader project is a sign the company is trying to get users to spend more time with it on mobile devices—and to see more ads.
But owning news consumption will be a challenge for Facebook, analysts say. Both Twitter and LinkedIn have been pushing their own services aggressively, while Flipboard has more than 50 million users.
A Facebook spokesman declined to comment on the company’s plans for future news applications.
不過，Facebook最近幾次推出的產品似乎都不太成功，成績最理想的要數Instagram影片上載服務。如果要跟LinkedIn、Twitter以及Flipboard硬碰，縱使用戶人數最後多，但又是否能穏操勝劵呢？
