"The 'Listen with your friend' feature in ticker is blowing my mind. Listen to what your friends are listening. LIVE."
The tweet has since been deleted, but not before some followers were able to grab screenshots (scroll down to view).
The "ticker" Lee mentioned is one of the new features Facebook rolled out this week as part of its revamp to the news feed -- it's that real-time scroll of friends' updates in the upper right, as the company explains in this video:
"Listen with your friend" could be part of a new music feature that Facebook is widely expected to unveil at f8. It's been reported for weeks that Facebook Music would launch, perhaps through partnerships with several existing streaming services. Facebook metadata was spotted over the weekend in the code underlying Spotify, Rdio, MOG, SoundCloud, Deezer, and Rhapsody.
What would be most different with Music on Facebook is simply that it would be on Facebook, with its 700 million users. What do you think? Would you listen to music with your Facebook friends?
