Facebook Makes E.gg Available To All In The US

After announcing its E.gg experimental app in July, Facebook has now announced that anyone in the US can download it and try it.

In the summer, Facebook announced E.gg – an app born out of its NPE experimental projects division – a new experimental platform that celebrates the early days of the Internet with “weird and wonderful expressions of who you are and what you love.”

The app, “inspired by the raw and exploratory spirit of the early internet” lets users create pages that really represented them by choosing their own URL to use as a virtual canvas and curating images, GIFs, shapes, and text.

There are so many things you can do with it, but in the beta, people used it to create anything from fan pages, guides, and tributes, to profiles, collages – and even recipes. You can, of course, share your URL for all to see. Creation on E.gg is app-based, but viewing is web-based, so anyone can view your pages – even if they don’t have the app.

When browsing other people’s pages, you can take bits from theirs and add them to your own – with attribution. Attribution then links the two pages, making it possible to find all people who used the same bits.

If you’re in the US, you can download E.gg on iOS or browse other users’ creations from your desktop at https://e.gg.
