Facebook users will now be able to share multimedia content.

At the annual f8 conference from Facebook, a lot of interesting things were presented, not just an updated interface . Now users of this social network will be able to share information about everything read, listened and viewed with their friends. At the same time, friends have the opportunity to listen and see what another user has just watched. For this, a special service was created, in conjunction with Spotify and Hulu.

For example, one user listened to a musical composition, which is very much like him. Information about the listened record appears in the “annals”, and friends of this user can not only see a record like “just listened to such and such a track”, but also listen to the same thing. However, for this you need to be subscribed to the same service (for example, Spotify) as the first user. Now Facebook is working with several multimedia services, which are supported by the system.

Now more and more various media companies are collaborating with Facebook. Recently it became known that such services as Rhapsody and Turntable.fm are now working with this social network. Work with the company and video services, including Hulu. According to the developers of the new multimedia content sharing platform on Facebook, such a scheme of work will help users discover new great tracks and videos that can be bought on-site.

In addition, Facebook will collect statistical information (probably anonymously) regarding what people watch, listen to and read. Such information is useful to the advertising partners of the social network.
