Facebook introduces video Chat service to its users on Wednesday, 6 July 2011. Now you can video chat with your friends, this feature has been introduced via Skype integration in Facebook and this service will give more tough competition to Google plus social networking site.
Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said -
“Users will be able to click a button in Facebook to call a friend. If the friend does not already have the
plugin required for video chat, the friend will see a pop-up to download the plugin. That download should just take 10 or 20 seconds. This is possible because the social infrastructure exists. The system knows we’re connected and we have the pipe open between us so new applications can flow between us. We want to leave all the applications to independent entrepreneurs and companies that are going to be best in class at building these things. That’s a different strategy than other major Internet companies out there who try to do everything themselves.”
Zuckerberg described Facebook as a platform that allows these kinds of new applications to be easily used. He also sought to set Facebook apart from competitors because Facebook plans to partner with companies like Skype (which have already been granted) that are focused on specific technologies. He also said that Facebook now has more than 750 million users, up from 500 million.
