Stitcher, an app that is essentially Pandora for news radio, says it is
now the first service to tightly integrate such programming with
Facebook’s Timeline. The move could be the biggest mobile implementation
of Timeline to date, the company says.
Stitcher, which gives
iPhone and
iPad
users access to more than 6,000 on-demand news radio shows and podcasts,
and which lets those users create custom stations around them, is
launching its Timeline integration today, a step it says will help news
junkies discover large numbers of new programs as they see, in real-tme,
what their friends are listening to.
Though younger Facebook users may look more to services like Spotify,
Stitcher CEO Noah Shanok told CNET that for older members, there is
plenty of interest in news.
