Facebook is pulling all stops to ensure its dominance in the world of social media. The social networking site is planning to roll out new features, acquiring (or at least trying to) emerging platforms.
According to Mark Zuckerberg and confirmed by Pew Research Center, Facebook has become one of the prominent source of online news consumption in past year. In order to make it more attractive and compete with still dominating conventional news media, Facebook is planning to roll out a new feature for its users.
When a Facebook user go through their news feed, they might find an interesting news but not the time to read it and the next time they have time, the intriguing article would be lost in a stream of news.
With Facebook’s new feature, you can save that intriguing article to read later, so that you don’t have to miss it. All you will need to do is click on an icon next to the post designed to save it on your Facebook account for later.
It is logical to assume that this feature might have found its inspiration in apps such as ‘Instapaper’, ‘Pocket and Read It Later’ or ‘Reading List’ feature of Safari, the Apple browser. Facebook will allow you to not only save data but other posts as well that involve videos, pictures, status updates etc.
This particular feature will provide the company a better insight into a user’s likes and dislikes and his reading habits and will at the same time provide the users with something new and innovative on the platform.
