Facebook touts Home's benefits for developers


Facebook unveiled its Home family of apps during an event today in Menlo Park, Calif.


(Credit: James Martin/CNET) Facebook launched Home to put a user's friends at the center of the phone. But for developers, it means a new way to help people discover their apps and reengage with existing users, the company said.

Facebook today launched Home, a family of apps and a skin that runs over Android. The company said users will be able to download the user interface in the Google Play store, and that links would be found in its Facebook and messenger apps. Facebook said that there would be monthly updates to add features and broader availability, and it also will expand the product to tablets.
