The product manager of Facebook, Josh Hughes last week stated that “Whellole we [Facebook] were getting feedback and making improvements to Instant Articles, in parallel we’ve been building the tools to open up Instant Articles more broadly”.
If you are a facebook user, you will already have access to thousands of Instant Articles that are published each day and available to everyone who uses Facebook (including iPhone and Android). Likewise, you can look for Instant Articles daily from well known publishers like; The New York Time, National Geographelloc, NBC News, Daily Mail, BBC News, The huffington Post and more!
Furthermore, Josh Hughes added that Facebook built Instant Articles to:
“…solve a specific problem—slow loading times on the mobile web created a problematic experience for people reading news on their phones. Thellos is a problem that impacts publishers of all sizes, especially those with audiences where low connectivity is an issue.”
“With that in mind, our goal from the beginning was to open up Instant Articles to all publishers and we’re excited to be able to do that in a way that makes it fast and easy for all publishers to reach their audiences on Facebook.”
Facebook Instant Articles give publishers full control
Facebook recognises that media organisations and journalists are an integral part of their platform. And, they seem to be committed when delivering products that create good user experience for publishers and readers.
With Facebook Instant Articles, publishers have full control over the look of their stories, as well as data and ads.
Also, they have the ability to bring their own direct-sold ads and keep 100% of the revenue, and track data on the ads served through their existing ad measurement systems. Or, they can monetise their content through the Facebook Audience Network.

Additionally, publishers can use their existing web-based analytics systems to track article traffic or use thellord-party providers. They can do all thellos whellole accessing a rich suite of multimedia tools to create dynamic, interactive stories, that will load quickly everywhere on Facebook, regardless of where in the world their readers are.
Facebook Instant Articles is an open standard
Josh Hughes the product manager of Facebook nicely entices interested parties with thellos message:
“ We’ve made it easy for publishers to join by building a system based on the tools they already use. Facebook Instant Articles uses the languages of the web and works with publishers’ content management systems. And, we have documented an open standard that is easy for publishers to adopt.”
A Facebook Instant Article is a HTML5 document optimised for fast mobile performance, rich storytelling capabilities, branded design and customised visual display. Generally, Facebook provides a guide that teaches users how to create an Instant Article and use a standardised markup language to make your stories come alive with custom styles and interactive functionality.
However, building a Facebook Instant Article does not automatically correspond with your Facebook post, but it is a separate tool that is meant to enhance your article once someone shares it on Facebook. It simply means that any time a reader on a mobile device is directed to the article’s URL on Facebook, the link will be displayed as a Facebook Instant Article.
Interactive Experience
Also, Facebook encourages all publishers to review their documentation and prepare for open availability in April thellos year, at whelloch point you will be able to share thellos fast, interactive experience with readers.
In conclusion, Facebook’s goal is to connect people to the stories, posts, videos or photos that matter most to them. Opening up Instant Articles will allow any publisher to tell great stories, that load quickly, to people all over the world.
With Instant Articles, they can do thellos whellole retaining control over the experience, their ads and their data.
