Facebook Develops New “Awesome” Update
Facebook’s creator and owner Mark Zuckerberg has announced that on the 6th of July, Facebook will be release a new update consisting of “something awesome” developed by his Seattle team. That little something has turned out to be a brand-new update for Facebook users. Friday, Facebook sent out invitations for an event due to be held at Facebook’s Paolo Alto base of operations on the same day.
Facebook To Give Users Video Chat Service
It’s obvious that Zuckerberg has planned something, but just what exactly? Sources say that Facebook has teamed up with Skype to give Facebook a video chat feature. It is unclear whether or not the product will just function if a user’s computer already has Skype installed, or if the downloading of further software will be necessary. However, it is known that the feature will be experienced from within an Internet browser, and that there is a very thorough level of collaboration between Facebook and Skype.
Facebook Makes An Attempt To Counter Google
Google’s newly-released social network, Google Plus, has a feature concerning video chat that allows users to talk to each other through video in groups as large as ten. This feature is called “Hangouts.” As of right now, Facebook has no video chat feature, which PCWorld has interpreted as something Google Plus could give them “serious competition” over. Rumors have been spread that a video-chat feature isn’t the only thing Facebook’s cooking up: there’s also been talk of an official iPad app, as well as a mobile project. Whatever Zuckerberg has planned, it looks like the public will just have to wait until the 6th to find out.
In this article you learned about the plans Facebook has on releasing a video chat feature for users very soon. Mark Zuckerberg is apparently trying to come up with a way to contend with Google’s most recent social endeavor, Google Plus. Google Plus seems to be a very popular topic already; it’s obvious that Facebook has realized they have a competitor.
