Ab 3. Februar für iPhone: Facebooks ‚Paper‘

DirektPaper

Paper is the first product from Facebook Creative Labs, where we’re crafting new apps to support the diverse ways people want to connect and share. The app will be available for the iPhone in the US on February 3rd.

Sofa, Push Pop Press, Spool und Branch, nur einige der von Facebook in den letzten Jahren eingekauften Design-, Bookmarking- und News-Teams, waren fleißig. ‚Paper‚, exklusiv für iPhone, schlägt in eine vergleichbare Richtung wie das erst kürzlich gestartete Storehouse (kostenlos; App-Store-Link).

To pull it off, the company even needed to silo the Paper team off by itself, “like a startup,” as Reckhow describes it. It’s the first product to come out of Facebook’s “Creative Labs” — sets of small teams that are spun off to work on different projects which may move faster in isolation. Paper, for instance, was built by a team of 15 people, fairly (but not wholly) independent of many other parts of the organization.
