The way we share information on Facebook is again set to change as Ustream readies a new app for live streaming on Facebook. If you have an iPhone (or an iPad), you can very soon broadcast directly to your Facebook timelines.

The iPhone app called Broadcast For Friends (BFF) is being readied for launch and you can sign-up for an early invitation on their site. As soon as Apple approves it, it should be available for download from the App Store.

BFF combines mobile, video, and social networking. The app has 10 Hollywood-inspired filters for stylized videos (including a “Curiosity” filter inspired by the recent expedition to Mars). Similar to sharing other updates on Facebook, you can choose to keep your videos public, private, or only for personal use. As you go live, everything is broadcasted in real-time. The video is also saved automatically to your timeline so that other friends can also view it later.

The video app is free. The app also seems to be ad-free for now. Ustream has other mobile based broadcast solutions that are connected to live Ustream channels, but in this case you do not need an Ustream account to use it. The BFF iPhone app could be just the thing to broadcast personal moments and share them with your friends. Watch out for its release on the App Store.
