Facebook introduces new video service

Social media giant Facebook has made a move into dedicated video, pitting it against YouTube and TV networks.Users will soon see a new Watch tab that will offer a range of shows, some of which have been funded by the social network.

If the choice at launch is anything to go by, its focus will be factual entertainment- rather than flagship dramas like House of Cards or Game of Thrones, which are both more expensive to produce and better suited for playback on TVs.
