Facebook to launch new media buttons

In keeping with growing rumours that Facebook intends to turn users’ profile pages into entertainment media hubs, it is now speculated that the social networking giant is planning to launch new ‘Read’, ‘Listened’ and ‘Want’ buttons at F8 this week.

It emerged yesterday that Facebook will this week take the wraps off a new service that combines music, TV, games and movies into an entertainment hub on users' profile pages, siliconrepublic.com reported.

It has since emerged that Facebook will add new emotional triggers to the revamped profile page/entertainment hub, with the ability to show friends what you’ve watched, listened to and want – potentially spawning a whole new commerce movement on the site.
