Penguin Facebook, a New Twitter
By Sumaira Bajwa • Jul 16th, 2009 • Category: Technology • No ResponsesWe know that Facebook has recently been changing its privacy features and adding new features to open up its stream in a process we like to call Twitterification. And while Facebook’s adopting more and more features from its microblogging rival, we’re finding out that the reverse may also be true. Could an official Facebook Twitter app be on the horizon?
Well, a penguin is fueling speculation. Specifically, Penguin FB, a Twitter application that’s being tested on Facebook’s development servers. A tweet by Blake Ross, Facebook engineer and one of the founders of Firefox, is riling up suspicions about an official Twitter app from Facebook.
The tweet, which we first learned about via Inside Facebook, is a test tweet from the unknown application. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Blake has deleted his tweet.
