The article is confusing. Why does it mention Facebook right in the headline? Hangouts looks like a replacement for Skype and real life. I can only imagine an effect on Facebook if G+ lures many people into moving their personal face-to-face social time online.
That said, Skype needs competition, so I don't mind...
- illumen 15y agoPeople use skype and facebook for the same problem - keeping in contact with family and friends.
- gurkendoktor 15y agoRight. Then why is it luring Facebook users, not Skype users, or business users that don't use FB right now? I think the headline implies the wrong premise again, that FB and G+ cannot co-exist. I think they can and will.
- nextparadigms 15y agoBecause it may be Google+'s "killer app", just like the wall or whatever was Facebook's killer app. Google+ may bring social networks closer to reality, through social video-chatting (and by social, I mean like in real life, doing it in groups).
