    Why is the Facebook Beta App for Windows Phone 8 Identical to the Android and iOS Apps? 31

    This week’s release of a new Facebook Beta app for Windows Phone 8 had enthusiasts of the platform hopping. But as excitement over early access to the app turned to confusion over the new, non-Metro user interface of the app, questions arose.

    Facebook App Beta for Windows Phone 8 25

    Now this is interesting: Microsoft is giving users an early peek at the next version of the official Facebook app for Windows Phone 8. It’s not exactly the early update release program for enthusiasts the company promised last June, but when you consider how core Facebook is to the mobile phone experience, this is should still be quite compelling for many users....More

    Windows 8 Tip: Pin the Facebook Web App 7

    In some ways, this tip is kind of a bonbon, a lightweight trifle in the sense that it’s fairly obvious. But if you’re bemoaning the lack of a native Metro-style app for Facebook, your best alternative may be to skip the Facebook support in the People app and just use Facebook’s web experience....More

    Microsoft Experiments with Social 3

    This week, Microsoft introduced a social network of its own, the awkwardly named So.cl (and, yes, it’s pronounced as “social”). But rather than being a full-fledged competitor to Facebook or Twitter, Microsoft says So.cl is simply an experiment, and aimed mostly at students....More
