Social Media Prediction: ACCURATE.



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.
