At last Facebook has launched the video calling in its social networking site. This has intensified the rivalry between the facebook and google over domination in social networking market. While Google’s orkut has become failure now, it is trying to catch up with facebook with the new google+ project site. Google+ project has also similar feature which they call google hang out. Presently this has been in a testing phase open to very few limited user. By introducing video calling option, it became a relevant fact that video conferencing is becoming an important feature in social networking market.
While facebook has teamed up with skype to develop this feature, google has done that by its own. Skype is the most dominant player in video calling market with its easy to use facilities which include PC to phone and PC to PC calling. It also has voip technology which they might implement in facebook at a later stage. Recently skype was acquired by Microsoft. Facebook is more depending on the google rivals to defame it. Google is focusing on video conferencing, but facebook is more focused on video calling. This actually means that in google+ project, a maximum of 10 users can engage simultaneously in a group video chat but facebook allows only one to one. This is actually plus point for google to have the feature. Facebook is still the dominating player in market with 750 million user but there are reports that about its diminishing popularity. Google will take advantage of this to gain popularity. With the introduction of google+ project, it is sure that google will take away some of its market.
Google+ project interface looks more like facebook making it simpler. Rumours are there stating that google will introduce this to the mass by August 2011. Now everybody is trying hard to get a glimpse of the google+ project. But due to reason that it is being in testing, it has given access to limited users. Reports indicate that response for it is massive while facebook is declining. This will compel facebook to bring up with new features in the coming days to sustain. Google is coming up with more and more creative ideas and features to overtake facebook. It also has come up with features like group chatting on mobile devices. Now a days mobile applications market is on the boom, facebook must emphasize on these technology.
I am presenting clips of both Facebook and Google+ project.
