As if there were not enough ways to keep connected using social media and the internet, there is yet a new way to keep in contact with friends: Facebook Video Chat.
This new addition, to the most popular social networking site, launched on Monday and will allow Facebook users to video chat with their friends individually or in a group with several people at a time. Other services this video chat offer include pausing or muting the video (if you don’t wish for the person you are chatting with to overhear you) and the ability to leave video chats open for long durations so people can see even when they are not chatting – a little creepy if you ask me.
Perhaps your friend is not currently signed into their Facebook account? This new program allows friends to leave private video messages for one another.
As social networking continues to grow and progress, will there ever be a limit to how far they will go? At some point the ability for others to reach into your private life may borderline unhealthy.
