The differences between Facebook Video me and Google Hangouts

A week after the launch of Google own social networking applications to test its video chat, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on July 6 also launch the joint video chat service with Skype.

It is much interestiing that Facebook and Google provides services with major differences. Facebook video chat is just one to one service, the company will treat this tool as an additional tool, "for most people, it does not belong to one of their daily activities."

A engineer from Facebook video calls team, Philip explained that the video chat is too difficult to establish, or the user would like to voice chat with friends using different services and can not establish a voice conversation.

But Google do not think so."With the launch of Google +, we hoped to congregate entertainment, flow lines and occasionally in one screen, so we created a Hangouts." Google director of real-time communications technology Justin said, "By chance encounter chat with more than a combination, Hangouts allows users to have time to stop, and their circle of people communicate with each other."

"Lack of robust video chat solution, Facebook has become a vulnerability." China bulk wholesale electronics ePathChina analyst Yide Huang told reporters. "Now the company has for the user adds an important communication tool, which may allow users to log on after a longer stay in line."

Eileen said that while Facebook / SKYPE solution is the standard video chat, but Google's Hangouts video chat feature is also re-thinking. "It is trying to replicate real-life mobility group chat, from the early Internet chat rooms to find inspiration." She added.

Facebook has a huge user base, and far ahead of the competition. Facebook users spend an average of 6.5 hours per month with other people for a month's time to connect with other people.

"Video Me" soon means "Let's video chat on Facebook," market research firm Forrester Research analyst Henry wrote in a blog. "This connection will allow more connections invitation, will also lead to people on Facebook to participate in more activities."

The Google + only just started, which the user is busy establishing their own social circle and send the invitation, can not rely on the user's video chat to attract traffic.

Nevertheless, the China cheap electronics wholesaleePathChina statistics show that, Facebook video chatters in the service position is correct. The ePathChina found that while 19 percent of American adults have tried through the network or mobile phone video chat, but only 4% of Internet users in one day there will be a video call, chat or conference calls and other acts.
