Facebook’s About-Face on Sharing Gives News Sites Whiplash [Wired]

Facebook giveth and Facebook taketh away. App startups have known this
for a long time; now The Washington Post and other news publishers are
learning the same lesson as Facebook makes it harder for articles to
go viral. Facebook’s manager of media partnerships was quoted at a
journalism conference saying the social network is moving away from
so-called “passive sharing,” in which reader apps from the likes of
the Post and The Wall Street Journal are able to broadcast activity
without any prompting.
