NEW YORK: Social website Facebook has launched its instant articles service for Android users that allows media giants to publish their documents directly to the social site’s news feeds.

The service features more than 350 publications worldwide including big named of the New York Times, NBC News, the Guardian, Haaretz and Al Jazeera English.

Instant articles was launched in May and has been available on iOS devices since October.

The service allows publishers to either sell and embed advertisements in the articles and keep all of the revenue, or allow Facebook to sell ads.

Facebook also lets publishers track data and traffic through comScore and other analytics tools.
