Facebook has beta-launched Instant Articles in Thailand to make catching the news on mobile devices faster and richer.
“Expanding Instant Articles in Thailand is a significant milestone for the product and for each of our early launch partners,” Andy Mitchell, director of global media partnerships, said Thursday.
Currently, the average news story takes an average of eight seconds to load – by far the slowest single content type on Facebook.
Instant Articles makes the reading experience as much as 10 times faster.
Thai publications including Kom Chad Luek are now live.
Other partners that have signed on to the programme and will begin publishing soon are Daily News, Kapook.com, Khao Sod, Nation TV, Prachachat, Matichon, MGR Online and Thai Rath.
