A recent report by Forbes says that Facebook has teamed up with Spotify, to launch a music-streaming service on the popular networking site. Spotify, a Swedish Startup which was founded in 2008, allows music lovers to stream music from a range of major and independent record labels, including Sony, EMI, Warner Music Group, The Orchard, and Universal. As per the report: The service would be launched in two weeks, and would be available for Facebook users in countries where Spotify service is available. The integrated service is currently going through testing, but when  launched, Facebook users will  get to see a Spotify icon appear on the left side of their newsfeed, along with the existing icons for photos and events. It’s believed that the partnership will see a Spotify icon added to our Facebook pages which, when clicked, will allow users to stream their Spotify playlists straight through their Facebook accounts as well as bringing subscribers the opportunity to listen to music simultaneously with their Facebook friends. Presumably suitably social features such as playlist sharing and collaboration will also be included considering similar functionality is already available via the Spotify applications – applications which already plug into Facebook using the company’s ‘Connect’ feature. Clicking on the Spotify icon will install the service on their desktop in the background, and also allow users play from Spotify’s library of millions of songs through Facebook. The service will include a function that lets Facebook users listen to music simultaneously with their friends over the social network, one of the sources said. After grabbing the social media limelight, Facebook is now trying to cater to specific groups of audience and bringing a whole new perspective to social networking. Just few months back, Warner Bros. launched a movie streaming and renting service for Facebook users. Not to forget the social gaming revolution brought about by Facebook’s FarmVille.
