I would speculate that this could be something like http://turntable.fm http://turntable.fm built into Facebook.
If so, what a great way to keep users actively using Facebook: I can imagine someone spending a lot of time doing other things on the site while listening to music with their friends.

- conversionrater 15y agoFacebook implementing a similar thing as Turntable could indeed be a threat for them. Having such a huge user base gives them a lot of power in this type of situation, but the focus of a startup can often beat the focus of a larger company putting a team on a "feature".
- jsavimbi 15y agospeculation => Well, if tt.fm is raising money at a sudden $40M valuation, maybe they're positioning themselves for a quick exit via Facebook.
- mcantelon 15y agoThat kind of makes sense given you have to sign in via Facebook (which is why I intially didn't try tt.fm).
- jsavimbi 15y agoMy senses point to it. From my perspective it makes sense because you can't really point to it being a "serious" app that [serious] matured users would point to as a sense of belonging and we all know that Facebook users have no embarrassment at all when it comes to publicizing anything and everything they deem worthy in an effort to appear cool and belonging.
