Facebook, NBC Olympics Collaborating On Broadcast Features

NBC Olympics and Facebook will announce a partnership later this morning that will promote the Olympics on TV via Facebook while at the same time send Olympic TV viewers to Facebook to discuss the Games. NBC Olympics has set up its own page on the social networking site which will carry exclusive content including highlights. Facebook and NBC will produce social media segments that will be carried on NBC's various TV and digital platforms. Facebook also has committed to launch "Talk Meter," which occasionally will alert TV viewers to the stories and results that many fans are discussing on the social media site.

Facebook users can also let their Facebook friends know when they are reading NBC Olympic-related stories or watching NBC Olympic-related video.
