Facebook Wants To Eat Into Youtube’s Video Pie With ‘Slideshow’

The Quint  

It is hard to call Facebook a social networking platform anymore. For this, Facebook is working on a new feature called “Slideshow” which will include music from Warner Music Group to help users create “soundtrack options” as per media reports. Facebook, with 1.59 billion users worldwide, is exploring new ways to work in conjunction with the music industry. The company earlier initiated talks with music labels about licensing a limited number of songs that a user can upload, like summer vacation videos or birthday parties. The feature will be positively received by music labels at a time when they are downhearted due to the volume of unlicensed user-generated content at YouTube.
