CEO Mark Zuckerberg says in a Facebook post that ‘Watch’ would allow users to chat and connect with people during an episode. “We’ve learned that people like the serendipity of discovering videos in News Feed, but they also want a dedicated place they can go to watch videos,” Daniel Danker, Facebook’s product director, said in a statement on Wednesday. Facebook is already broadcasting some Major League Baseball games and that would continue, the company said. ATTN said on Wednesday it had two original series coming to Facebook Watch: a health program with actress Jessica Alba and a relationship advice show. Eventually, the platform would be open to any show creator as a place to distribute video, Facebook said.
