If you remember, there are a few months, Facebook had introduced advanced statistics for his videos . And recently, a number of social networks has increased to more serious matters by introducing a frame counter (yes, way YouTube) for his videos.
In a blog post, the number one social network had also hinted that he is working on a recommendation system for videos.
But it does not stop there. According to a source in the Wall Street Journal, Facebook is also discussing with the greatest creators of YouTube to encourage them to publish their content on Facebook.
