Recently websites have jumped on the social media marketing band-wagon to allow their users to communicate more with their friends whilst using the service. With no way of knowing what’s next to embed social networking in it was a surprise to discover BBC are incorporating Facebook, Twitter and Bebo with IPlayer.
“We are close to launching the third version of the iPlayer in beta which will have many more social functions embedded within it,” explained Mr Huggers. “People will be able to bring their Facebook friends onto the iPlayer so they can share what they are listening to or watching with each other more easily.”
This may not be much of an advantage in terms of search engine optimisation but for nosey people who like to be in the know all the time will definitely thrive from this new expansion.
