<p>Facebook's new standalone app Paper is now available for download on iOS to everyone in the US, and it's more than just a content reader. Paper has messages, notifications, search, and a completely redesigned profile.</p><p>When I asked the team leaders behind Paper if they still used the old one, product manager Michael Reckhow diplomatically responded "mmhmm, yeah", but designer Mike Matas just smiled coyly. I pounced, repeating my question just to him. "Once in a while". He'd spilled the beans. Paper could be a Facebook killer.</p><p>"Mostly I use this [Paper]" Matas continued.

"For my usage, yeah", Matas replied.</p><p>Facebook announced today's release of Paper last Thursday.
