MySpace (remember them?) founder Tom Anderson has his own thoughts about the battle between social network, Facebook, and new contender, search engine Google.
Anderson was referring to Facebook’s announcement final week that they were adding Skype video conversations. According to PCMag.com, Anderson stated MySpace had one on 1 video chatting in 2004, and had Skype video calls in 2007.
“People weren't ready for it back then-now will be the time, and FB has the userbase," Anderson stated.
CNN reports the Facebook version of Skype will appear as a "call" button at the best of users' profile pages. By clicking that or finding an individual in a brand new "buddy list" bar on the proper, Facebook users with webcams can have visual conversations. Facebook added the new service for millions of users on Wednesday and plans to add it to extra in time.
The New York Times mentions that Facebook doesn’t let additional than two participate in video chats. Skype has group chats, but it costs users $9 per month. Facebook does warn users that some computers might have hardware or software compatibility issues with the service.
Tom Anderson’s last post on MySpace was on March 1.
On his Facebook page, which seems wrong, he said, “I began MySpace in 2003, it sold in 2005 to NewsCorp for $580 million, and I stayed there to run it until April 2009. Now a brand new owner bought MySpace from News Corp. I'm not a fan of the new MySpace, although the team's heart was inside the right location. Maybe the new owner has excellent suggestions."
According to startribune.com, Skype is taking a calculated risk to expand its user base. Obtaining access to Facebook's 750 million users would lift Skype, which has about 170 million standard users.
Skype is also taking into consideration starting paid services on Facebook, like the capability to call any phone when making use of Facebook.Facebook Announcement is Good Timing for Skype
