San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 25, 2007 -- Veoh (www.veoh.com), the leading pioneer in Internet television, today announced at Facebook’s f8 event the Veoh Favorites Player application built on Facebook Platform, a platform that enables companies and developers to build applications for the Facebook website. Veoh’s Favorites Player application enables a new level of video sharing for Facebook users worldwide.
"Facebook Platform creates an ecosystem for developers to build applications that deeply integrate into Facebook and use its social graph,” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. “By enabling developers to make applications within Facebook, we’re working together to create a better utility for millions of people.”
Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and the people around them. Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships between people. With more than 24 million active users, Facebook is the sixth-most trafficked website in the United States.
The Veoh Favorites Player is an easy-to-use application that allows Facebook members to view all of their favorite internet videos on their profile page and share them with their friends. The Veoh Favorites Player is fully integrated with the Veoh platform and favorite videos feature.
“Facebook has built an outstanding new application platform to enhance the experience of its members,” said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh. “We are thrilled that the Veoh video application is part of the launch of Facebook Platform and are excited to extend the reach of Veoh’s rapidly growing internet video system into the Facebook community.”
Facebook on May 24, 2007 launched Facebook Platform, a development platform that enables companies and engineers to integrate with Facebook and gain access to millions of users. More than 50 percent of Facebook users return to the site each day, providing unparalleled distribution potential for applications and the opportunity to build a business that is highly relevant to people’s lives.
