Vibes: A Facebook music service ?
By analysing Facebook programming code, a software developer and researcher has found evidence of an unannounced music service called 'Vibes'.
Jeff Rose wrote on his blog that after the launch of Facebook Video Chat, he examined the code that the new feature requires to work. He found that it made reference to features called ‘Peep’ for video calling itself and also to ‘Vibes’.
“I searched around to see what this is all about, and it seems that this is an unannounced feature that has yet to be released,” the Telegraph quoted Rose as saying.
“The vibes app connects with a music download dialog in the page though, so I’m guessing that with this release we are seeing the seeds for Facebook’s upcoming music offering,” added Rose.
As Facebook Video Chat is not called ‘Peep’, it seems likely that any new music service could have a public name other than ‘Vibes’.
