This evening, Facebook began fully promoting the new Twitter syncing tool via the top of Facebook Pages and are encouraging page admins to sync with Twitter. With millions of page administrators (which still appear to be a fraction of all users), this new tool promotion will also serve as a significant promotion for Twitter in general. At this point the service is well known but by launching the product internally and making people say “Why’d they do that?”, Facebook is in essence using Twitter to keep their own company honest.

All along Mark Zuckerberg has been clear about his decision…

Apparently Hulu launched their implementation of Facebook Connect early last month but few people actually noticed. The Connect implementation enables users to view what videos their friends are watching. One thing that doesn’t appear to be an integral part of the Connect support is the ability to publish stories about what videos you’ve watched to your feed. Hulu has been receiving a lot of traffic which will also help Facebook expand the reach of Connect.

If you didn’t notice that Hulu had implemented Connect, it’s not surprising. To sync your Facebook account with Hulu, you need to login to the…

This evening, CourseFeed was the first verified application to go live. Last year at the f8 developer conference, Facebook announced the launch of application verification program and by November registration was opened. Since then there has been little buzz but as of tonight, the first verified application has gone live.
Since this is the first application to be accepted into the program, there probably won’t be much of a benefit as most users are not aware of the “verified application” icon. The program states that “users will see more information from verified applications as we increase their allocations for communication…

Warner Brothers and Facebook have teamed up to produce a new “interactive community-screening feature” on all Warner Home Video’s Blu-ray movies beginning with “Watchment Director’s Cut” according to Hollywood Reporter. The feature will be available to all BD-Live users. When I first read about the announcement I had no idea what BD-Live was.

For those unaware of the new feature, “BD-Live is a newly developed Blu-ray feature that enables you to access content via your internet-connected Blu-ray player.” Essentially each disc will have the ability to provide BD-Live powered features. This brings a new world of opportunities including highly interactive…
