The revolving door of engineers leaving Facebook continues to spin, as Silicon Valley venture-capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson announced that the social network’s head of product for Android, Bubba Murarka, was named a general partner and managing director.

Facebook has a perception problem in social television, where Twitter is entertainment’s favorite platform.

It didn’t take long for Netflix to start informing investors through Facebook. Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that companies can keep investors abreast of news through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites — a decision largely motivated by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. Thursday, Hastings took to Facebook to announce that over the past three months, Netflix users have watched 4 billion hours of programming.

Soon, investors will be able to learn more about companies in the same space where they play Candy Crush Saga. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared Tuesday that companies can notify their investors of news through Facebook and Twitter.

Netflix users can finally link their accounts to their Facebook profiles following a long battle in Washington, D.C., which resulted in last December’s overhaul of the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act, which had previously prevented video-rental companies from sharing users’ viewing data.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings appeared on CNBC Thursday morning, where he spoke with Julia Boorstin about the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation of his Facebook post about Netflix topping 1 billion hours of viewership in June.

Not long after the U.S. House of Representatives approved changes to a bill that would let video-rental services such as Netflix share viewer data (with their consent) to sites such as Facebook, the Senate gave its blessing, too. This means that soon, Netflix users will be able to share their movie histories with Facebook, much like music listeners do through applications such as SoundCloud, Songza, and Spotify.
