Page 2 of 2

TechCrunch is reporting that Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is starting to test a feature where it automatically plays user-submitted videos in mobile feeds when they’re being scrolled over.

I was a critic when reports began to surface about Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) getting ready to roll out video advertising. As lucrative as it may be, the possibility of a loud and obtrusive ad blaring in a news feed seemed like certain death for Facebook. However, this test finds me changing my tune. These ads are silent by default. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is also doing a brilliant thing by having friend videos begin scrolling first, so when the video ads do start to roll out, they won’t seem as intrusive.
