Why Facebook Chat Owns Your Face 2
Facebook has recently released Facebook Chat. There are a few reasons why this new feature not revolutionizes digital and personal relationships, but completely owns your face- and all of our faces.
I don’t know about anyone else, but Facebook, in and of itself, really helped me get in touch with people from high school, middle school and even elementary school who I never would have spoken to again.
Over the years, Facebook has not only allowed us all to reconnect with these people via messages and wall posts, but they even created a semi-creepy news feed feature for us to spy on our friends!
With the release of Facebook Chat, Facebook has turned our grade school and college acquaintances into real people, online RIGHT NOW. You’re not only looking at news feeds anymore, you’re looking at these people real-time!
Many of my Facebook friends aren’t my friends in real life or on AOL Instant Messenger, so seeing them online and being able to chat with them truly brings my online network to an entirely new level.
All the sites that try and just let people interact with each other either end up growing into huge things that allow every type of interaction, or end up failing, and disappearing.
It’s quite irritating as well that people can spy on you by just going on your page. I guess you could disable anybody from seeing anything on your page, but then you’re sort of not on Facebook anymore.
