Spotify Gets Social on Facebook

There was big news for music lovers at the f8 developer conference on Thursday; Facebook officially announced a real-time music streaming feature which will let you discover new music online with all of your Facebook friends. Spotify was showcased at the conference and they even have cool little video that shows all the new features (be sure to check out the video above).

Now when you go to Facebook you can see what songs your friends are listening to right now via a handy Ticker on your profile. Simply hit the play button and you can hear their tracks instantly. There's also a new Music Dashboard where you can check out your friends' top tracks and their recent playlists - even find out what songs are currently trending. Pretty cool, huh? Just think of all the new music you can discover!
