Facebook on Thursday released a list of third party political apps (not that kind of “third party” — these are apps made by software developers outside the company) that it says are “expanding the sphere of political engagement” on the world’s largest social network.
Facebook points to the apps as examples of what it would like to see from developers going forward, as well as what it hopes users will turn to as political campaigning increasingly occurs online. Two of the apps Facebook spotlights, the RNC Social Victory Center and the Convention Without Walls, were made by the Republican National Committee. None of the apps highlighted are from official Democrat organizations.
Here’s the full list, via Facebook:
- Votizen
- WeforPresident
- RNC Social Victory Center
- NationBuilder
- Facebook-CNN “I Voted” app
- Convention Without Walls
Facebook also noted it had invited the creators of the apps to an “Apps and Drinks” event this week in Tampa, Florida.
