Social networking site Facebook has launched
a new app called ‘Mentions’ for Facebook-
recognized or verified celebrities to help
them manage their public figure pages.
“We are introducing Facebook Mentions, a
new Facebook Creative Labs app that makes
it easy for public figures to talk with their
fans and each other on the go,” Facebook
said. It could make it simpler for celebrities
to manage their Facebook account by viewing
posts that mention them. The app is designed
to allow ‘actors, athletes, musicians and
other influencers’ to chat with their fans,
reply to messages, take part in live chats and
post updates — without seeing newsfeeds,
quizzes and ads.
Facebook Mentions also shows a timeline of
posts that refer to the particular
user. Verified users can create new posts and
also host live Question & Answer sessions
within the app. The Mentions app is currently
available only in the US, but Facebook plans
to roll out in other countries and verified
profiles in the coming months.
Meant for iOS users, the app is available for
download on Apple App store. http://www.bgr.in/news/facebook-introduces-new-app-called-mentions-only-for-celebrities/
