"Facebook is making strides towards becoming a multi-media communication juggernaut, its head of Messenger David Marcus announced today at TechCrunch Disrupt SF. Out of Messenger's one-billion users, 300 million people use its audio and video calling features each month. That's around the size of Skype's entire user base.
Facebook is uniquely well-suited to disrupting traditional home and mobile phone voice calling and their successor, video calling. It has the most complete social graph of family, friends, and acquaintances - going beyond what's in most people's phone contacts. It has a one-billion user chat app where people are already spending tons of time. And it has the technology infrastructure to support high-bandwidth transmissions."
The first trailer for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln will debut in a Google+ Hangout on Thursday, Sep. 13.
This will be the first time that a film trailer has launched in a Google+ Hangout. In addition to the trailer, director Steven Spielberg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will partake in a live chat about the film.
"The app will not only contain the songs, but is also expected to be "completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, gaga inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more." "
It sounds like a great idea and while we're not sure if this will combat piracy in the music industry, it might offer enough content for fans to justify paying for the app rather than just downloading it illegally.
