Over 50 media partners in Asia have joined as early launch partners.
The platform includes interactive features like high-resolution photo zoom via phone tilting, auto-play videos, interactive maps, and inline commenting.
Publishers retain control over content, brand experience, and monetization; they can sell ads directly or use Facebook's Audience Network.
Analytics tools are supported for tracking data and traffic.
The feature is seamlessly integrated into News Feed with a lightning bolt indicator.
Partners include publications from India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and more.
Facebook emphasizes an open standard using RSS and HTML for easy adoption.
