Facebook paper is a trend section added, hopes that you will see the

Remember paper? That app for reading stuff from Facebook. It sure is beautiful, but definitely has some issues in the Department of functionality. Well, last month it added some seemingly essential features of version 1.1, such as notifications about event and birthday were missing. Today, to celebrate version 1.2, Facebook is adding support for hashtags, a trend posts section and photo tagging. Paper is still not anywhere near ready to replace the standard Facebook app, but now that you have your profile or cover photo editing, you can rely on it for something more. (Maybe even tens of minutes!) There's even Autocomplete for friends names when you're trying to get them in post tag. In fact, paper comes in the awkward teenage phase. We see the promise and the job--there's glimmers of maturity under her clumsy veneer. Perhaps most impressive is the fine Grain controls that have been added for the edit and share updates. Switch between audience and friends is just a tap away, even if you have previously placed a missive on your wall. Between home and paper it is easy to see how an image for Facebook users interact with the service in the future ... not that future here yet.
