Rob Curley has been excited about something for a couple weeks now. I’ve been wondering what it was. After hearing him chatter on about Facebook at the Online News Association conference in Toronto a couple weeks ago I had my suspicions. So, now I know. Washingtonpost.com just launched a very polished and, dare I say, useful Facebook app. In fact, preliminary evaluation would lead me to believe this might be the most polished and useful app I’ve seen on Facebook yet.

I think it’s amusing to note the application takes into consideration page layout. Wow, it’s like it has been developed by a publishing company.

Go get it.

I *love* community publishing. One of my core beliefs is that newspaper web sites need to be much more of a dialogue. But building a site with essentially just community-publishing tools and calling it “hyper-local” seems a little lazy/crazy to us. - Rob Curley: LoudonExtra.com Launches
