This afternoon, I noticed one of my friends on facebook was reading an article on the Washington Post.  I clicked on her status and it took me to the Wash.Post App for facebook so I could read the same thing that she was reading. I didn't go to a different site, it was inside facebook.  I could still see the top tool bar (for notifications) but there was also this: across the top of the new "ticker" were my other "social apps".
