BBC And The Guardian Sign Up To Instant Articles On Facebook
- The Guardian, Wednesday, May 13, 2015 6:25 AM
BBC News and the Guardian are the first UK media companies to sign up to a new Facebook initiative. Currently, mobile readers have to click on a link in their news feed with a wait of more than eight seconds for the article to load in another Web page -- a slow experience in the fast-paced Internet world. The new initiative, called Instant Articles, will see stories run within Facebook that the company says will make for a seamless loading experience 10 times faster than the current system.
