Facebook Goes Real Time on Any Site with Live Stream Box

This will greatly improve how people use social media on their sites, making it easy to engage entire communities on a web site.

Amplify’d from developers.facebook.com

Today, we’re excited to launch the Facebook Live Stream Box as a feature that any website owner or developer can use to enable Facebook users to connect, share, and post updates in real-time as they witness an event online. You can run the Live Stream Box next to live streaming videos of concerts, speeches, sporting events, webcasts, TV shows, presentations, or webinars. Or run the Live Stream Box in multi-player games, or with any other experience where many people are visiting a website at the same time. The Live Stream Box is built for scale and can handle millions of simultaneous viewers updating in real-time.
