The NewsMix for Facebook application presents updates from the Facebook Pages you "like" in a magazine-like fashion.
The application joins Sobees' other NewsMix applications for web and iPad. The company's primary goal is to create a digital newsstand relevant to each user and appropriate for each platform.
In the Facebook application, collected stories represent the articles, photos and videos as posted by Facebook Pages. You can also check out Facebook friends' magazines and "like" Pages you discover as you browse.
The application will appeal to the subset of Facebook users who want a unique and aesthetically pleasing way to discover news items from their favorite brands, media companies and celebrities while on Facebook.
The association between "likes" and news stories in NewsMix may be a bit troublesome for others. Often, users "like" a Page just to get a temporary glimpse at its content or earn some fleeting reward. Thus, clicking the "like" button does not always indicate a genuine interest. So, while NewsMix does a decent a job at the presentation piece, it may not be showing users news they actually want to read.
Have a look at the application and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
