ABC Produces Social Media Newscast

It was bound to happen at some point and it appears ABC is the first. World News Tonight anchor David Muir is doing a daily one-minute newscast specifically for Facebook.

The show is called "Facecast: The One Thing". We get the 'Facecast' part, but 'the one thing'? It's a stupid name, so hopefully someone from creative services will explain what it means?

One thing is certain; Muir will have more eyeballs than Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric. In the first day, Muir had more than 97,000 views.

Here's the announcement from ABC News.
