Facebook Home revamps any Android phone to make it about 'people, not apps' | The Verge

Home is a family of Facebook apps that overhauls your entire device, turning it into a Facebook phone. An app called Coverfeed overhauls the homescreen and the lockscreen, giving you updates on what your friends are doing without you having to launch an app, or even unlock your phone — and you'll get ads in all the same places. You can comment or like posts from your homescreen — it feels incredibly native. Everything is full-screen and incredibly visual, really looking nothing like Android.

New app basically turns your phone into a Facebook phone. Anybody gonna try it? I don't even log into the regular Facebook app on my phone, I just use the browser but...

Everyone's heads buried in their phones.

I just checked out the conference for this, and I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of my newsfeed scrolling as my lockscreen.

When they show the demos they have all these interesting people doing adventurous stuff and cool pics to show... my shyt would have lame ass people doing self portraits in the mirror, some ignorant meme and some other dumb shyt.

I need to go through my list and clean out some of the trash

Do I really need another way for women to snoop on my FB when I leave my phone out of arms reach for more than 30 seconds?

No thanks Mark. No thanks.

Fukk this shyt. I don't even like getting facebook notifications so this shyt is too much. I'm sure for the people whose live revovles around facebook that might be interesting.

But I have no use for this

fukk this malware.

On a side note, the way this social media crap is marketed is abraisive to me for some reason. They all have that same annoying synth-based "minimalist" music, the same filters on the camera, the same lighting, the same lame "dinner party scene", the same white middle class douchebags (always gotta have one guy with curly hair, the artsy type clearly), the token Azn person (cuz it's tech related obv)... What a bunch of tossers.

BTW I think its going to be over for facebook soon...they are getting more aggressive and that usually makes people turn on them even more.

This reminds me of those AOL PC's that compUSA and others used to carry. I wish I can find a video for it, but it was basically the same idea...you turn on your PC and aol is right in front of you before anything else...it was a huge disaster, but looking back I should have bought one to keep

no i can talk to people through text messages and facebook and they feel like we talk but i never actually have to see them. i probably haven't seen anybody in my family that's blood related outside my parents since 2010 at Thanksgiving. i've reached a point where i don't answer phone calls and nobody calls anyway they just text. when people call i know they want something so i ignore the calls.

here is the aol pc I was talking about:

Women do that shyt more often from what I have seen. Any place they go out they feel the need to "Check-In" EVERYWHERE

Facebook has often been coy about its monetization strategies, but the company has confirmed that ads will be coming to Home for Android, the launcher it debuted today. "There are no ads in this yet, I'm sure that one day there will be," said Mark Zuckerberg when asked about how Facebook Home would make money. Another member of the team clarified that ads would be coming to Cover Feed, though they won't be there when the app launches on April 12th.

Zuckerberg responded more directly to a further question: "Yup!" he said when asked again whether people might see ads in cover feed. He described ads as another type of content, along with the friend updates and news Facebook has been trying to put front and center with its recent updates. That's not out of line with what Facebook currently does, but unlike with a dedicated app, putting ads in Cover Feed means you'd see promotions for apps or businesses directly on your phone's home screen and lock screen. And unlike Amazon, which partially subsidizes its Kindles with advertising, Facebook won't be knocking any money off the price of a phone.

Facebook will put ads in Home for Android, just not at launch | The Verge
