Wall Street Journal:  WSJ Social on Facebook The Guardian:  The Guardian on Facebook Building on Guardian News & Media's recently-announced digital-first strategy and pioneering open approach to journalism, the Guardian is now among the first companies to make the news industry more social. The new Guardian Facebook app integrates with Facebook's Open Graph platform and the Guardian API, enabling Facebook users to read and experience Guardian content without leaving Facebook. The Washington Post:  The Washington POst Social Reader App on Facebook, include Mashable updates. posted by Steve at 6:50 AM | link | (1) Join the Discussion

All these seem pretty interesting experiments. I'd add that hearsay.it is doing some interesting stuff around social news reading too but trying to help users build a news graph outside Facebook rather than grafting news consumption on to it. The attraction of FB is obvious - a lot of people already there, a lot of time spent there. But the drawbacks are also obvious. A lot of people there, a lot of noise, and no/small revenue.
We built Hearsay ( http://hearsay.it ) to let people who really want to be part of social news distribution and consumption play with the idea in an environment where it is really clear what you are doing. We think that a lot of people can benefit from passive sharing, but it might be better to have a single URL of what you have read that day which people can visit, than to have every single story tickering past everyone you know. Love to know what you think of it. Links to this post: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
