The new feature will take the shape of a widget or tab on the user's profile page, according to The New York Times. It will display the songs a user listens to the most and provide a method for friends to listen to and share those songs. Facebook will do the same thing for video and television content. The social network has reportedly been talking to various media companies about integrating their content to Facebook's new feature, including Spotify.
