Facebook unveils a 'Reader' as a possible new bid mobile project

Last April the company of Mark Zuckerberg introduced Facebook Home, a new user interface developed for Android phones, in order to help the company to increase revenue from their advertising space in this ecosystem.

Now The Wall Street Journal has revealed that the social network takes more than one year working on a fix, internally called 'Reader', to display the contents of the users of Facebook and other editors in a new visual format —a kind of homegrown - news service through mobile devices.

As noted by the American newspaper, the new development resembles Flipboard, the popular application of smartphones and tablets that allows users to read news aggregated from multiple sources.

Like Twitter, Facebook users often share news of breaking with their contacts and this new service could attract a large number of followers to the social network.

It is not clear if the so-called 'Reader 'project will be launched or will be as a mere investigation, but yes reinforces what the new identity that wants to adopt Facebook, trying to get to corner the market of mobile users and that they spend more and more time on it.

This effort is critical for Facebook, already that need to activate their stock price that held 35% below since it faced its initial public offer (IPO).
