However, there is no smoke without fire and it seems that the company is indeed working on a specific player, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

The Facebook Project Reader is apparently being only one year and is developed under the close gaze of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who have made a contribution and redesigned in a different stades.Cela unlike other other launches which are much faster, such as Poke-like Snapchat that was created and launched in 12 days.

Yet, despite the longevity of the project, specific details are not clear.

The log indicates that the service is "a product experience that works on both: tablets and smartphones," but it is not clear whether this means that it will be a standalone application, as Flipboard, or a feature that is integrated into Facebook . com and optimized for tablets and smartphones.

The overall goal, not surprisingly, is to attract Facebook users and increase engagement. Apparently, the team spent time exploring the problems of distribution, such as how the new Facebook content appeared users.

The Journal was unable to obtain a potential launch date for the project, and he even suggests that there is a chance that Facebook Reader could never be launched. However, given the long-term efforts and participation of Zuckerberg - not to mention the success of Flipboard and the imminent end of Google Reader - we would certainly be in waiting for a news service of any kind.
