Facebook today announced that Skype video calling on the social network will roll out today. According to Facebook executives, a user can use the new feature to make a video call to any Facebook friend in about 30 seconds via a couple of mouse clicks. (Obviously, such video calls could only be made to friends who have a functioning webcam on their end).
In the same announcement, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg also said that Facebook now has 750 million users worldwide, who share “4 billion things per day,” and that Facebook will also add another new communication feature, group chat.
Zuckerberg described the these new features as the beginning a new phase in the development of social networks in which the traditional measure of “user growth” will replaced by exponential “sharing growth” in which users share more and more information.
We’ll have more details on Facebook’s new features as they become available.
