SocialEyes

Overview
If skype, chat, instant messaging, phones, and all other forms of communication have become boring or unavailable, Facebook has a new solution. SocialEyes is a video chat system that can be accessed through Facebook. Once logged on to Facebook, users can now video chat with their friends. The new chat system is simple to use, and has brought another new form of communication. SocialEyes currently has its own website, and has only joined Facebook as another feature of Facebook. It is free to use, and only requires Adobe Flash to run. SocialEyes is similar to all other forms of video chat; however it does include new unique features that allow for easy communication with multiple people. The program allows users to video chat with more than one friend at once. It also allows users to leave video messages for their friends if they are not online. SocialEyes also allows users to create video chat groups of people they know, or become connected to other users through their Facebook profile. People on SocialEyes can also pause conversations while they are busy with something else until they are ready to continue the conversation. SocialEyes brings yet another useful video chatting program, along with many new features. Rob Glaser and Rob Williams are the creators of SocialEyes. They have been working with digital technology since the 1990s. According to //The New York Times//, Rob Williams “compares it to a physical office, where someone might walk by and start a conversation with a colleague, another might join in and then two might go into a private room to continue talking.” If this new program is as similar to meeting people in an office as Williams describes it, it brings about the question of what this means for the future. Will people begin using programs such as SocialEyes to have conversations with others as a replacement for walking around the office to communicate? While SocialEyes may be a helpful tool for some situations, for others it may sadly be taking over face-to-face communication.
