An interesting news report from WSJ which I think I read on Mashable the other day, but cannot remember. The article highlights an announcement to come this Thursday which experts have predicted means Facebook will open up its pages to companies wishing to provide their services to Facebook users.
The examples given are those of an online retailer building a functionality where users can recommend books or cds etc to friends based on relationships they have developed on the site.
I think the same could apply to content providers especially people like Joost. I mentione d this earlier in my blog about Joostbook. Although this was just a future prediction I believe the way users could recommend channels and programming to contacts on Facebook. Essentially this could mean that Facebook groups create their own specific channels on Joost where they can drag and drop relevant content, alerting Facebook friends to the changes.
