Minnesota, USA -September 19, 2011 - Speculations surrounding the introduction of different forms of media to Facebook are finally confirmed as legit; reports say that on Thursday Facebook will begin streaming music and video with live feeds for users to display what content they are viewing. In addition, some newspapers are expected to debut new products on Facebook. Luckily, Facebook users will need to 'opt-in' to use this feature. Based on descriptions, this new addition to Facebook will be popular; it is another way for users to share their likes and dislikes without writing it within the interest sections.

 

Facebook started with the goal to become a 'social media network' but it concentrated on the 'social' portion and is finally ready to move on to involve more media. Sources say that Zuckerberg, Founder of Facebook, always encouraged media to get involved, but it just never pulled together. Facebook is expected to allow these new media developers to customize their 'like' button by introducing different words. Months ago, rumors already suggested this but it finally is expected to take shape.

 

The music and video updates will not appear in the regular News Feed -unless it is considered 'popular' or viewed multiple times by several people; there is a separate feed which Facebook will call the 'ticker'; information on this is not released but we should expect that users can filter what information is displayed and from whom.

If you have not viewed your Facebook in the past days, you may be surprised by the increased 'grouping' of users; you can label friends as 'top friends' in order to get alerts of any updates sent directly to you. In addition to this, there is also a 'family' tab as before, plus any other tabs related to the networks you joined. Each of these categories of users can be customized to display specific information whether it is only 'urgent' updates or displays all activity -somewhere between these as well.

Facebook is speeding forward ever since Google+ made its debut; although it put focus on what Google+ marketed as important, it is also developing into a new network which will likely retain its users. Right now, Google cannot keep up with Facebook's cutting-edge changes. Facebook wants to keep its users around and by introducing media it is likely to do just that.

A new Facebook is truly taking shape. No longer are there many small changes to the layout, but the entire experience is different than in the recent years or even months. Stay tuned for more information.
