Facebook introduces a new way to share structured status updates

Facebook on Wednesday announced an innovative way to share what you’re listening to or watching in a status update. Soon, iOS and Android users will be able to use their phone’s microphone — similar to Shazam — to get the app to hear a song or hear a show or movie and post that the user is doing that.

For instance, if you’re watching The Simpsons, you can turn on this feature as you’re composing a status update and Facebook’s app will recognize the sounds.
