Saurabh Chauhan 0 Comments ,

Feed For Facebook is a Windows 8 Facebook client app for browsing content from your feed. This free Facebook client Windows 8 app can be easily located in Windows Store under ‘Social’ section.

The Facebook client app for Windows 8 utilizes a totally different interface for displaying the social activity with option to like, comment, and share. The app is still in beta stage and comes with promise of more goodies in future.

Using Windows 8 Facebook Client App:

  • On launching app for the firsts time you will be shown the login form for entering your Facebook credentials.
  • After login, you will be prompted to authorize Feed for Facebook app to access your information and to post on your behalf. Only, after granting the permissions being requested, you will be able to use Windows 8 Feed for Facebook App.
  • Once you are done with that a new interface will load with entries form your Facebook feed. Window-8-feed-for-facebook-app
  • You can click on any story to view it individually. On click, it will be zoom-out to the right section of interface with a like button and textbox to comment. Below it exists ‘Open in Browser’ button to view  the story in your default web browser.  (One thing that I would like to highlight is that at present stage this application is not capable of showing comments made by others i.e. to view the story with all its attributes you need to utilize ‘Open in Browser’ button.)feed-for-facebook-app-

Updating Your Status:

On the top-right corner of the interface exists the button to update your Facebook status. Click on it , and a panel will pop-up in on the screen. Window-8-feed-for-facebook-status-update
