Facebook is testing a new layout for Open Graph app stories that look reminiscent of one of the most popular apps out there: Pinterest.
The new design gives app stories a little more face-time on your News Feed, and gives you the ability to do things like comment or like a particular element of a story.
For instance, one example we found of the new design showed a number of items a friend had recently liked on Etsy. Photos of each are displayed in a Pinterest-like grid on the screen, and buttons below each allow you to comment of or like each individual photo.
App-specific actions can also be incorporated into the process. Inside Facebook noticed the feature on a Foodspotting post and found that when clicking on stories you could also “want a dish” directly from your News Feed.
Currently the feature appears to only be for applications that are heavily photo based, and only appears to be available for some users.

Do any of you see the new Pinterest-esque designed pages in your News Feed? What do you think about the design? Should it stay or should it go? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
