Facebook Paper sharpens its news game with “Trending” section

In an effort to further augment its Creative Labs experiment Paper, Facebook announced Monday that the latest update to the mobile app includes new information-gathering and customization features for users. One of those is a new “Trending” section, a more extensive version of the similarly-titled section  on the website, with 10 news topics instead of three, that allows users to see what others are sharing in Paper in real-time.  For directed coverage, users can also search via hashtag for specific content. Additionally, the update includes the ability to update profile photos, tag pictures, mention friends and selectively share content.
