Just saw a live from Marks Zuckerbergs F8 presentation and i hit on this photo!
So seems that they are having something under development.
Your thoughts?

I can't imagine this being successful in the US. The internet is more than just FB... A ton of infrastructure for social media I think. I think Netflix kills this concept in the US.
In countries without a lot of streaming media this might make a lot of sense.. It's almost 'AOL' like..
