Technology and the expansion of the Internet are changing the way not only we entertain ourselves, but also the way we live, allowing us to be more connected and up-to-date than ever before. Among the existing options for consuming series and movies, soon we will have to include Facebook TV that will arrive in August to compete with HBO and Netflix
We still don't know exactly how Facebook TV will work, but we do know that it will start to be available in mid-August offering the first episodes of exclusive series from the technology giant. These, according to the same source of information, would last between 5 and 10 minutes each, and would have been created by companies that have allied with Facebook.
For its part, Mark Zuckerberg's company did not want to comment on this information echoed by various media outlets, but everything indicates that these first steps they will be nothing more than a kind of experiment On the one hand Facebook TV will offer a sample of what is to come, and the service will have the opportunity to analyze the response to see if they are capable of planting against their possible rivals.
What is clear is that the rest of the television content that is published later will have a longer duration, of between 20 and 30 minutes for each episode, and will be managed directly by Facebook in a similar way to HBO and Netflix. Some companies collaborating on the project are Group Nine Media, BuzzFeed, ATTN and Voz Media.
Although the service is a couple of months behind its original planned launch date, it's hard to tell if Facebook TV will be successful at this point when it arrives in August to compete with HBO and Netflix At the moment we can only wait a couple of weeks for its arrival, which will be when we can get a better idea of the future of this new platform.
