Video Calling on Facebook - Oh Gawddd

Video calling is now on Facebook via Skype, which can be accessed right in the chat option of your account. I have no problem chatting with people and actually think the group chat feature they added is awesome, but the thought of having my morning cup of coffee looking my utmost worst is appealing to me and being interrupted by a friend who wants to see what I look like at the crack ass of dawn can just forget it.

Even though I am not so thrilled with the new video calling option, I am confident many users of this leading social-networking platform will be. The only concern I had about these new Facebook features were advertiser access; in other words, if a consumer or potential consumer liked a business page, would that business be able to make personal contact with you via video calling or chat. After reading the article on Fast Company, I am relieved to learn businesses will not be able to tap into their friends in this manner.

As Momma Dukes is a new blog for me, I have not had the opportunity to set up a Facebook page yet. However, I welcome all readers to join me once I get it set up; just don't video call me when I am drinking coffee and eating donuts.
