Considering the fact that Angry Birds has nearly achieved world domination, it seemed rather bizarre that the world’s biggest and most successful mobile game hadn't been released on the world’s largest and most successful social network. Not wanting to leave the world in a state of unbalance, Rovio have rectified that situation which means that those temperamental birds are now available to fling around as a native Facebook application.

Instagram, Lovestagram and now Cinemagram. Every way we turn there is a new 'gram' application which uses the power of visual art to entice users in to using the service.
