  • 1:33 PM Facebook (FB +1.1%) is set to unveil a standalone photo-sharing app called Facebook Camera. The product of Facebook's photos team, the app doesn't feature any Instagram integration (the acquisition is still being reviewed by the FTC), but it does borrow heavily from the startup, and drives home the extent to which Facebook saw it as a direct rival. Facebook's mobile use is soaring, though this brings with it some monetization challenges.

  • Wednesday 2:19 PM The Angry Birds are flying into Facebook. Angry Birds Friends, the first Facebook (FB) offering for Rovio's absurdly popular franchise, is out of beta and filled to the brim with "social" features such as tournaments. The game, which features in-app purchases, is good news for Facebook Credits, but not for Zynga (ZNGA), which has seen daily users fall for a number of hit games as competition grows.
