" Today Facebook announced a new feature for its Facebook app that can automatically identify music and TV shows playing in the background as you're writing a status update. When you activate it, the opt-in feature uses your smartphone’s microphone to scan your surroundings; you’ll see a sound icon moving on the screen as it does. If the Shazam-like feature finds a match, you can share songs or shows with your friends as part of your update.

Facebook says it doesn't store any of the sound it analyzes, and emphasizes that "we can't identify background noise or conversation." (That's presumably a matter of intention and not capability.) The feature, of course, will know what you're watching or listening to, which serves Facebook in its battle with Twitter to become the best “second-screen” app that people use for discussion while watching TV. "
