The announcement was short on details like which apps would receive the ads, and Facebook said it would not release more information. Some users should start seeing the sponsored content on partner mobile properties, however. “The current test is limited to a few advertisers and partners, and we will share more details over the coming months,” Facebook said.     Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
