How happy are you with your profile video on Facebook? Yeah, that one… You have probably not even bothered making one yet, have you?
I don’t blame you. It hasn’t been showing very exciting results.

Sounds awesome, right?

Developers will also appreciate that they will get attribution within the News Feed when a profile video made with their service is posted on Facebook.
