Mark Zuckerberg wants people to watch tv on Facebook

Live sports, reality TV and comedy shows will all be available with the new Facebook feature.

https://www.facebook.com/zuck/videos/10103953494202721/

FACEBOOK IS INTRODUCING a new way to watch tv shows, with its Watch tab set to be rolled out worldwide.

Part of the company’s plans to incorporate more video on its app, Facebook said that the content users see will be based on what friends and communities are watching.

The videos you watch will have comments and reactions under them like any other Facebook posts. You’ll also be able to search for new shows based on how people reacted to them, such as “shows where many people have used the ‘haha’ reaction”.

It envisages having a range of shows from reality to comedy to live sports on the platform, and Facebook is funding some of its own shows to get the project up and running.

In a statement, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “We believe it’s possible to rethink a lot of experiences through the lens of building community – including watching video.

Watching a show doesn’t have to be passive. It can be a chance to share an experience and bring people together who care about the same things.

The service is only available in certain parts of the US for the time being, but Facebook said the service will be rolled out everywhere else soon.

    What kind of sick religion thinks killing children with a truck makes their god great, I must have missed the notifications of prayers for Nice victims on the media to be held in mosque showing their outrage and sorrow.

    A more factual heading of “Bono one of 1000′s of people evacuated from restaurants and bars across Nice” simply doesn’t have the same click bait effect! And it works judging by comments below like “why did he get special treatment” etc.

    So you read the article and from that you believe Bono is trying to get some more attention for himself. The news (which is decided upon by media editors) is he was in a restaurant in Nice and was evacuated like everyone else – hands on head. Doesn’t take a smart arse to realise you have it all screwed up.

Religion may be the excuse but it is not the reason. There are very mixed up and angry people who are vulnerable to causes and the manipulation of truly evil people that are carrying out these attacks. The more we alienate people, the more attacks there will be. Until we get governments that back people rather than corporations, this trend will not only continue but escalate

True it was the Journal that reported about Bono, let’s wait and see when he gets back into Ireland I can feel a late late show appearance could be on the cards and I am sure he will have something to say about how he escaped with his life seeing as he was so close to the awful event in Nice.
