You Can Now Share Music From Spotify on Facebook Stories

Spotify on Friday announced that users will now be able to share their music with friends, followers and fans on Facebook Stories, more than a year after a similar feature was rolled out on Instagram. As part of the plan, users will now be able to hear a 15-second preview of any song shared on the platform before tapping on the ‘Play on Spotify’ button to stream the full song.

Aimed largely at musicians, the new feature will offer artistes “a more powerful way to connect with fans”, said Spotify. According to the company, the integration will make it easier for creators to promote their tracks, albums, playlists, podcasts and more. “Taking advantage of our sharing features helps to get your tunes to more people’s ears. It will also encourage your fans to interact with you and your music and help spread the love through their own Facebook Stories”, said the company.

Users can share a song from Spotify to Facebook by taping on the ‘Share’ option on the music streaming app and selecting ‘Facebook’ from the resultant menu. “Now, when viewers watch your Story, they’ll be able to listen to a 15-second preview of it — instantly — and they can tap ‘Play on Spotify’ if they want to hear more”, said the company on its official blog post.

As mentioned earlier already, the ability to share Spotify music was first rolled out on Instagram Stories last year after Facebook opened up both its major social media services to allow sharing of news, songs and videos from third-party apps. While Spotify back then had promised to roll it out to Facebook Stories in the following months, it has taken more than a year for that to finally happen.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social...
