Facebook introduces Video Call

In a move that could push video calls into the mainstream, Facebook on Wednesday announced that its 750 million users can now video chat with each other through its website.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg, declaring the new feature "super awesome," said the one-on-one video-communication tool, dubbed Video Calling, is the next logical step in connecting people. The feature is just the first of many new social apps that will soon blossom across Facebook’s network.

"Today is the beginning of Launching Season 2011," Zuckerberg told a group of journalists, bloggers and employees at Facebook’s headquarters in Palo Alto.
