Facebook video on cable too

Facebook video sharers soon will have the chance to co-create a TV series called "Facebook Diaries." Comcast and Facebook are teaming up to start a contest in March in which users "submit short video segments about their lives. Throughout the contests, Facebook users will be encouraged to upload, view, share and rate the videos," XChange Online reports. The best videos will get featured on Facebook and in Comcast's social site Ziddio.com. They'll also "form the basis for" the new series's 10 half-hour episodes that will air online and on TV. According to the Associated Press, the series will be produced by R.J. Cutler, "known for his edgy work gathering stories from regular folks in shows such as 'American High,' a nonfiction TV series chronicling the lives of suburban teens at an Illinois school."Facebook video sharers soon will have the chance to co-create a TV series called "Facebook Diaries."
