Recently an article was published in the New York Times about the new additions which are potentially being added to Facebook to make the social media site even better. In the article Facebook does not directly comment on their move to join with media partners. However, media executives from the company did mention that partnering with media partners are a way for Facebook to become more of a media hub that it is aiming for with its users. Facebook feels because of its 500 million users, partnering with media companies would be a good move for Facebook as well as the companies they are partnering with. Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook's CEO) mentions that they want to make Facebook do everything you would do with your friends. So, he wants Facebook users to be able to listen and share music, books, and other forms of media with their friends. This is article is very relevant to Facebook users because music sharing is already happening through social media sites since this article has been published. I think this is the next step for Facebook because it seems that everything else is able to sync with Facebook. For example, people are able to link their contacts from email to facebook; people are able to sync their Linked In and Facebook accounts. Therefore, media linking and sharing is the next step to keep Facebook growing.
