Dress your Android up in Facebook clothes.
(Credit James Martin/CNET)Facebook is looking to get cozy with the home and lock screens of your Android device. The just announced Facebook Home is a suite of apps that replaces your normal home and lock screens with social media content. It puts Facebook in your face every time you power up your phone.
Users will get notifications from friends plus photos status updates and link shares. It pretty much serves up all your Facebook information without you having to ask for it or open up a separate app.
Users will be able download Facebook Home from Google Play like a regular app. It does require a special confirmation to install since it makes such radical changes to the existing look of your screens.
Depending on your point of view Facebook Home either offers a convenient way to put social media at the front of your Android experience or represents an intrusive land grab for the most viewed screen on your smartphone. So far CNET readers haven't exactly embraced the concept. Reader mrjeremy88 offers one of the milder comments saying I enjoy Facebook but couldn't imagine taking it to this extreme. I'm sure some people will love it though.
For people who already focus their tech lives around Facebook it could certainly make sense. Other people may be wary about the level of intrusiveness.
