Facebook Launches Experimental "Prototype" Apps (Updated)

Update: In fact, Facebook has just launched Prototypes. It’s not live for everyone yet (including us), but once it is, you’ll be able to see it as an option in the left-hand navigation menu in the application directory. As we wrote below, Prototypes is a way to find experimental projects built by solo Facebook engineers.

Facebook’s engineering team has a tradition of hackathons — everyone hangs out together and builds experimental features for the site. Those features are sometimes live.
