A business model for Facebook…
It seems obvious once you think of it… why not add a “click to call” button, and enable telephone calls on Facebook? Think of overlaying Skype on top of Facebook…
Why does Facebook need this? Well, because they are losing money on a massive scale: see our KookyPlan report here (needs updating, I know): http://kookyplan.pbworks.com/facebook
Think about how silly the current system is… Lets say you use facebook to reconnect with old friends (as most people do), but then when you find your old high school buddies, the best that Facebook has to offer is a “wall” in which you can post messages, or “chat” to kind of talk with each other.
But, why not enable voice?
Think about the possibilities…Facebook transforming itself into a massive online phone book with all of your favorite friends a click away. Then, like Skype, they could charge for calls to land lines (like “Skype-out”, which actually makes money).
Then, get this on your cell phone… and look out all competitors, this could be the voice-provider of the future….
any thoughts?
