| Facebook to hold press event; some speculate about future RSS reader
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 15 () -- Facebook has sent out invitations to an event where it will unveil a "new product," prompting some to speculate about Facebook introducing a news reader.Facebook will host the press event on June 20, the British tech publication The Register reported Saturday."A small team has been working on a big idea. Join us for coffee and learn about a new product," said the invitations, sent by snail mail.Rumors have been spread that the announcement will be a new RSS reader, or a news reader, to replace Google Reader, which Google said it was shutting down on July 1 due to the declined of users over the years and because the company wanted to focus on other projects.Tom Waddington, who also maintains crafting and home art website Cut Out + Keep, blogged Thursday that he spotted something new in Facebook's code base."A new entry appeared – now users have RSS feeds, each RSS feed has multiple entries,[url=http://www.moncleroutleto.co.uk]moncler outlet[/url], and a list of subscribers," the Scottish blogger wrote. "What's surprising is that the code mentions RSS specifically and distinctly from existing interest lists and friend lists. Also,[url=http://www.pachasvip.com]hollister coupons[/url], note that this is unconnected to Facebook outputting RSS feeds, which they've done for a while."Waddington said he tried to access the RSS feeds, but that they were blocked for average users.In March, Facebook inventor Mark Zuckerberg said: "We want more than a single feed of content. We want to give everyone in the world the best newspaper we can. It should have high-quality public content and socially relevant content, and to drill into any topic." |
