Facebook Music and Movie Ticker
Facebook has just announced about introducing a music and movie "ticker" to the Facebook site.

This service will enable Facebook users to see what their friends are watching and listening to in real-time, Here is The Guardian report.
It has been rumoured that the "ticker" will be separate from Facebook's news feed, although some crossover is expected. Services such as Spotify and movie streaming websites are expected to lend their support from launch.

Mark Zuckerberg the man behind Facebook will unveil the feature at the social networking giant's f8 conference, taking place in San Francisco 22september. Zuckerberg is also expected to confirm partnerships with newspapers at f8, enabling Facebook users to read select publications within the social networking site.
Facebook's revenue reportedly doubled to $1.6 billion (£995m) in the first half of this year, despite increased competition from rival firms such as Google. The website boasts an estimated user base of more than 750 million.
Earlier this week, the company announced that it is improving connectivity with fellow social networking service Twitter, allowing users to pipe their profile directly to a connected account.

Competitor Google unveiled its Google+ social network earlier this year, inviting journalists and those with a tech background to try out the platform. The service opened to all users earlier today.
