Facebook to launch video chat facility powered by Skype...

By -


 Facebook is the first ranking social networking website in the internet. It has about 750 million active users as of July, 2011. Mark Zuckerburg, the co-founder of Facebook, is dubbed today as the youngest self-made billionaire in history. Facebook, started by a few college students in a dorm room, has offices in around 15 countries and has more than 2000 employees today. Alexa, Quantcast and complete.com ranks Facebook, the 2nd in overall user traffic. According to estimations, Facebook has earned US$2 billion in 2010. The website is available in many popular languages.
 Facebook is to introduce a new zesty facility to its users which is the video chat in the mid of July. The website is to set up a tie with the internet telephony giant, Skype. Skype provides video and audio communication between users through internet. It has more than 170 million active users and is very popular because of its cost effectiveness. On 10 May, 2011, Microsoft had agreed to buy Skype for US$8.5 billion and if the deal gets finished, Skype will be a division within Microsoft.  
 Facebook has complaints from many parents that their children are nearly addicted to the website and spend more time with it, than with their routine. A report says there are nearly 8 million children below 13 years of age having accounts in Facebook, which is a clear violation of the website rules. Apart from children, youths and even elders feel that they are tied down before the fascination of using Facebook. Now this new facility shall boost their enthusiasm in using the site further more.
  Many of the social networking experts feel that Skype has a chance of getting a massive popularity after joining hands with Facebook. While some feel that, number of users of Skype’s video chat through Facebook will increase, decreasing the number of direct users of Skype and this may reduce the individual popularity of Skype.

Superiors vs Inferiors...

To, All the inhabitants of this world... Yes... Nature is wonderful... There are reasons......   There are plenty of species living in harmony with one another (of course among them one is exceptional) in this same world. Wherever you go, you'd find a neighbourhood offered to you by nature. It's up to you to engage them in a way that may please you.    The one very basic scheme that is been subjected upon all the beings of this world is the 'Survival of the Fittest', which means living beings with more strength, prowess, deadly skills, etc. predominantly lead their life as they wish than those so-called inferior beings. But still those so-called inferior living beings do exist and astonishingly their count is comparable (or more ) with that of those superiors .This is because nature has a number of cyclic processes that happen always for the well being of both the categories (inferiors and superiors).   Even though living beings are categorized in tho...

Aramm - The government official behind me

Watched the movie Aramm - and felt the story close to my heart. The story was weaved around a government officer, having a mission of rescuing a little girl from a deep pit, dug for a futile search of water. She had a lot of people to handle like the girl’s parents, the public, MLA, Minister, media and her own staff. Pressure around her was tremendously built with all of their opinions, disapprovals, ideas, emotional responses, etc. Yet, she was supposed to think straight and win the situation. Else someone dies. When my mother brought home such stories, I really never understood the magnitude and the intensity of the situations she would have just faced. All I knew was that, my mother was always expected to be late for the dinner.   Like every other child in the neighborhood, I would like to play in the evenings with my friends. But my mother sent me to tuition as otherwise I would be all alone since she would not be back at home to attend me. During elections, my father take...

Lay offs...

The organization doesn't know the impact on the employee when he is just said to walk away from the job one day due to many reasons for which he is not directly responsible! He might have a number of commitments & plans which he must attend to with his income like loans, etc. Now where he will go when his salary is stopped suddenly. In case of recessions he might think of a backup plan and make his position ready expecting a down fall. Here the organization did not give him time except the notice period of a few days.. Let us think for what he is removed from the job. For working so well and getting continuous good grades? If so he is costing much for the company than his peers and he shall be removed! Or for getting low grades for which the inefficiencies of the employees is not only accountable as we all know in this country people play politics even to fetch milk for the infants? So as an employee you are confused to the point that your seat is volatile whether you work or ...
