The head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, said in 2013 that he wanted the social network to become “the best designed newspaper in the world”, and that seems the general tone of many of his steps agreements with media , large and attractive images in publications and now the option to save the links want to read more calmly.
Twitter is the preferred social network addicts information and it seems, for now, unbeatable in this regard. But it does have an Achilles heel, known for his own team, working on ways to “rewind” its contents: excessive immediacy and constant flood of information on your platform. Perhaps this new feature of Facebook is a way to differentiate its social network of 140 characters and make it a place that is not simply to read news, but to also read of relaxed manner.

They can see that a new option will appear, as the ‘I like’ or commenting-shaped button, which will allow this link remains stored in a list, each shared by one of our contacts in Facebook link to which we can access then from the main menu of Facebook.
option was already seen in one of the application updates for iPad and iPhone launched in 2012, only that in this, the links are kept pressing your finger over them. This new version incorporates a button itself. It is unclear how many users would be having longer access this option from their accounts, a spokesperson for the social network is limited to explain that the company “is always testing new features” and that, so far, does not have any announcement to make .

In this case, you want to get inducing Internet users to not only scanned his wall news, but extend their interaction with him watching what interests them to read later.
Facebook refuses to heed those who say it is not a means for reading news, a study by Pew Research said, recently, that 78% of those who read a shared article on Facebook do ‘by chance “- and is determined to make its platform in a way to allow users to access the information that interests them and the media to promote their publications
