Mashable reporting:
Facebook has begun rolling out its apps marketplace internationally, launching a version for UK users Friday morning.
Facebook’s App Center (or Centre, in British spelling) launched in the U.S.
early last month. It’s similar to Apple’s, Google’s and Amazon’s app
stores, allowing users to browse apps by category, such as Games or
Sports, and filter to show apps that are available via the web, mobile
or both. Apps are recommended based on collective ratings, personal
recommendations, what’s trending and popularity among your friends.
The App Center isn’t exclusively made for Facebook’s apps: It also
indexes apps available only on third-party sites, or through other
mobile app stores. When users click to sign up for apps like Netflix and
Hulu, for instance, they are sent to their respective websites; other
times, they’re sent to Apple’s App Store or Google Play. In the somewhat
rare instance where a paid app is sold directly through Facebook’s
store, the company takes a 30% cut; it takes the same cut of purchases
made within apps based on its platform.
