According to some rumors, Facebook is working on a breaking-news app (possibly known internally as “Notify”) that will go head-to-head with Twitter, VentureBeat reports.

Facebook’s algorithms — which initially push out stories from news publications to just a few users, and then an increasing number depending on performance — are such that it hasn’t managed to become a go-to platform ala Twitter for up-to-the-minute news, despite its nearly 1.5 billion monthly active user base.

Facebook quite clearly isn’t happy about that missed opportunity for user engagement, which it seems to excel in in pretty much every other area of its product. Now, fresh leaks via The Awl earlier this week may shed some light on what Facebook’s “Twitter killer” may look like.

Users will reportedly be able to check publications that they want to receive breaking news from, and then be alerted of new headlines directly in their notification panel immediately as they are published (in this case, iOS examples are shown in the leaks).

On the whole, details are still slim — but with Twitter just laying off 8 percent of its workforce, and Facebook by all accounts as strong as ever, it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
