There is currently having more than 800 million active users all over the world. If you are one of the active users of the world’s largest social network, you must be aware of the changes appearing on the social networking site. One of the biggest makeover is the redesigned profile known as Timeline that offers a unique way of viewing the history of a specific friend. This feature has met with variable reviews until now from users.
It is through the f8 conference held last year that the social networking giant introduced a host of new features and improvements of which many of which are still to be rolled out to users. F8 conference is used as a platform by the social giant to reveal new features and technologies which the company intends to incorporate into the website.
It was back in September when the last f8 conference was held by the social networking giant. The event brought with it several major announcements. In that event one major announcement made was related to digital music. Facebook in that event announced that it is going to include in its social networking site an integration of Spotify music service. With this integration, the existing Spotify users need to have an account on Facebook as well to login into their accounts. As the partnership grows, its instances begin to appear in the ticker notification showing what friend is listening what through Spotify.
The social networking giant has now moved a step further where it now allows users to keep chatting with friends while listening to the same music at the same time. This new feature is known as “Listen With”, and the company while explaining it says:
Look for the music note in the chat sidebar to see which of your friends are listening to music. To listen with a friend, hover over their name, and click the Listen With button. The music will play through the service your friend is using.
When a new song plays, you’ll come along for the ride, discovering new music while your friend DJs for you.
This new feature will bring some more versatility to the social networking site. This will allow you and your friends to share music with each other while chatting. Considering the release of standalone windows chat client, the new feature will improve the users’ chat experience along with the music service.
