Facebook's just announced that it was going to be launching
an app center… as if we didn't already have enough app stores to download from.
The app store won't be unique to a platform. Think of
Facebook's new app center as an app aggregator. It'll feature apps of all
sorts, from iOS to Android to web to desktop apps.
The app center will include both paid and free apps. One of
the primary goals of the Facebook app is to be another avenue for developers to
make money.
Quality apps will be highlighted on Facebook, much like in
the iTunes App Store. Users will be able to vote on apps, and the highest rated
ones will be, according to the Facebook
developer blog, "prominently displayed" on the Facebook app
center. The app center will also be using Facebook Insights in order to monitor
ratings and app popularity by age demographics.
The app center is expected to launch in the coming weeks. On
the developer page, Facebook has put out a call to developers for app
submissions.
