Here's
a post I wrote a year ago suggesting Facebook will soon incorporate
webcams.
New
networking site Google Plus did just that in July, as I documented here.
Zuckerberg
has finally pulled his thumb out and caught up. Log on to Facebook to
see the webcam interface in action. If you look at the chat box and
click a friend's name, a separate chat window will appear as normal
to the left. Next to their name, you'll see a small video camera
sign. Click the sign and install the plugin, and you're ready for
video chat. Send a request to start a video call. You get connected
if they accept. If they don't or they're not there, you're given the
opportunity to record a webcam message- provided you and your
recipient have both installed the required plugins.
Stay
tuned to see what else I say will happen. Because it will happen.
