An app that takes the photos from your Facebook News Feed and puts them in a layout strikingly similar to Pinterest got the seal of approval from Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday.
The Facebook CEO pushed the “Like” button on the Friendsheet Facebook app, which launched in January but is now likely to gain plenty of traction from Zuckerberg’s thumbs-up. Nearly 12 million Facebook accounts subscribe to his Facebook Timeline.
The app displays public Facebook photos in small panels, just like popular social bookmarking site Pinterest showcases images on Pinboards. Although Friendsheet resembles Pinterest at first glance, the mastermind behind the app said it was also inspired by Facebook Timeline.
“The goal was to take Facebook photos, and turn it into a visual experience while maintaining speed, performance, and a great, intuitive experience,” Friendsheet creator Zachary Allia wrote on Facebook.
Friendsheet settings allow you to hide photo captions and comments for a more visual experience.
This isn’t the first site to imitate Pinterest’s success or layout. Pop mega star Lady Gaga’s new social network, Little Monsters, latches onto design elements of Pinterest.
Friendsheet is also available as a Google Chrome app.
What do you think of Friendsheet? Is it a smart way to highlight the visuals on Facebook? Give the app a shot and then sound off in the comments.
