Facebook launches application prototypes

September 15th, 2009

“Facebook’s engineers thrive on innovation and experimentation. We’re encouraged to work on projects that inspire us and build on new ideas, but not all of these features and improvements wind up launching on the site. In some instances, they’re not quite ready for prime time, are a bit esoteric or don’t quite fit. Now, for all the products that wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to see the light of day, we’re introducing Facebook Prototypes.

Facebook Prototypes let us share the experimentation going on inside the walls of Facebook with the rest of the world. You’ll be able to test any of the products and features we launch as Facebook Prototypes and then provide feedback directly to those of us who built them. To access Prototypes, visit the Application Directory and filter by “Prototypes.” From there, you can activate or download any of the Prototypes listed.”
