Probably many read yesterday, and possibly tested how the integration of Yandex.Music with Facebook works .
And today, on Friday, I want to discuss with you whether this is necessary and why, and, most importantly, how it should work.
In general, this is a good topic in order to find new music according to the recommendations of friends, or why then? But it turns out that the user is given the opportunity to broadcast either all the music being listened to in the activity ticker on FB, or nothing.
Question No. 1: Is it necessary to broadcast everything that you listen to friends and acquaintances?
Yesterday, we conducted a small survey on our page in FBand got the following results: 144 people said they didn’t want to broadcast. 85 people answered that they do not care. 16 people replied that they want it. There were also interesting comments, the essence of which boils down to the fact that this is the generation of information noise, since a person does nothing to send information to someone, even does not press the "send" button. Also, people expressed the opinion that music is still personal and you don’t always want everyone to know that you are listening at a time.
Of course, the broadcast can be turned off, but only the whole, that is, turn off the service.
Question No. 2: How do you think Open Graph should work as applied to a music service? Do I need to give the user a choice of what to broadcast and what not? How would you share music and share at all? Is it enough to simply share albums, for example from Fidel.ru to Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.
