Facebook planning music dashboard
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 June 2011
Facebook are planning a music dashboard that will offer music. And dashes, possibly. Or at least that is what chatterboxes on t’internet are saying.
This stems from the previously reported rumour that Facebook was in talks with Spotify about the digital music platform bringing streaming music to the social network. As we commented at the time, Facebook has actually been in talks with multiple music providers about involvement in some sort of music section on the social network, that would basically offer little new content, but would let people access existing music services through the Facebook interface. It’s all part of Facebook’s plans to be both the start and end point for their users’ internet journeys.
According to GigaOm, the Facebook Music Dashboard would also allow fans to alert their Facebook friends to music they are playing, playlisting or recommending, or some such similar social recommendation whatnot thingy-ma-jig. Which will be great. Until you accidentally press a bookmark button and your browser surfs off somewhere else.
