Facebook, Google Battle To Be Video-Calling Home Base: Worth keeping on your watch list
Video calling has yet to catch on with the average consumer, despite the wealth of free or low-cost ways to do it.

The slow uptake hasn’t deterred tech companies from launching video calling services, however. On Tuesday, Facebook was the latest to unveil its solution: a video chat service that operates within the web browser, powered by Skype. The move followed Google’s June 29 introduction of “Hangout” video chats in its new social networking service, Google Plus (a.k.a. Google+).
