Look, it’s nice to know Apple isn’t the only company that knows how to create buzz by accidentally leaking information. Ji Lee, Facebook’s creative director, tweeted about Facebook Music, which is set to launch tomorrow. The post was quickly deleted, but not before the Internet had time to get all excited about it.

Granted, Ji Lee only has about 5,000 followers, but you know what the Internet’s like; as soon as he mentioned that. “The “Listen with your friend” feature in ticker is blowing my mind. Listen to what your friends are listening. LIVE,” some kid took  a screenshot and started posting that thing everywhere.

We figure this means that music you’re listening to will pop up on the right-side window of your Facebook screen, and that there’ll be a link that lets your friends listen to the same song at the same time. If that’s what you’re into.

Last.fm won’t be happy.
