Facebook Makes Big Platform Change: Removes Publisher Attachments

Last night Facebook made a relatively big announcement for developers: the company will be removing publisher attachments. The idea behind it was that applications could create custom attachments that would show up in the feed. According to Facebook the feature was getting little usage, however the concept behind it was pretty powerful. The equivalent in email would be making attachments that aren’t just files but interactive experiences.

Instead, Facebook will keep their in house attachments working, but developers will not be able to create new forms of attachments.
