Data from Facebook’s public feed API and keyword insights API will be used during Fox Sports National Football League, college football, and soccer telecasts for enhancement such as live polls, answering viewers’ questions during broadcasts, and real-time streams of conversations on the social network, Mashable reported, added that the deal strictly covers content, and no money is exchanging hands.
