Do You Love Skype and Hate Facebook!

Nowadays Facebook is everywhere, facebookists are around the corner, facebookism is in the air and Facebook applications are by thousands now. I even launched the blog www.facebookism.com to cover anything related to this phenomenon.

The more I am digging around this new social network, the more I am discovering people rejecting it without reason.

Then this morning while turning my laptop on in the office, my Skype was signing in and I wondered why some people who reject Facebook, do use Skype?

Skype has many features that are similar to Facebook and Skype was there way before Facebook. I will not count the option of both of them, but your profile on Skype have many identical fields as Facebook, you can have your picture attached, you add friends from anywhere in the world, you can have voice chat, you can have video chat, you can even search for people by very small details (age, gender, country, etc…)

Lots of people are having social networks on Skype or MSN or Gtalk or other messengers without even noticing it, but I don’t really understand why they reject Facebook in an era where the internet will move soon from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0.

If some people are afraid about their privacy, they should know that everything is controllable and that on September 8, 2006 Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) apologized from many upset Facebook members who responded with outrage and he offered many privacy options.

My small conclusion, Skype and Facebook are almost the same in many issues and different in others but at the end, you can make your networks on both.
