Facebook’s news feed is about to become a lot more fun, as the social network announced that it will implement the ability for users to try out games directly via news feed and timeline stories.
Games including Idle Worship, Angry Birds, and Bubble Witch Saga have already deployed what Facebook is calling feed gaming.
From the developers’ standpoint, feed gaming allows users to access short samples of games without leaving the news feed. And from the users’ standpoint, they can sample games without authorizing them or surrendering personal data.
Facebook suggested more ways for developers to engage with potential game players in a post on its developer blog:
- Competing with friends: Angry Birds encourages people to challenge their friends to beat their high score on a specific level.
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
