Fans who love to trash talk during games have a new outlet for their rantings, Facebook Sports Stadium, a dedicated spot on the social networking platform where users can share comments and video clips with friends and get game times, live scores, stats and play-by-play.
Hmm, that kind of reminds us of another social network’s sports-monitoring feature. Hint: We’re talking about Twitter’s fascination with the World Cup.
It seems every social network is trying its hand at improving your entertainment viewing through engagement. In fact, Facebook describes the feature as “a second-screen experience that we hope makes watching the broadcast even better.”
Hey, there’s nothing quite like keeping your eyes glued to your smartphone instead of on the game to improve the experience.
We kid, we kid. There’s clearly something to this social media thing; in 2015, Nielsen reported the Super Bowl garnered a whopping 243,000 tweets in a single minute (8:19 p.m. ET, if you’re curious).
You can find Facebook Sports Stadium by searching for a game. The company says the new feature is currently only available on the iPhone in the U.S., but it plans to add more platforms “in the coming weeks.”
