I don't know whether to embrace this new feature or what. I liked facebook because of the simplicity, apparently a lot of other people did too. Not only is facebook now increasingly becoming a meeting place monster of a site, but it's getting all these new applications.
One side of me thinks, "cool, I mean, group chats are pretty sweet," but what if you don't want to chat to somebody? Will the real time chats have the same new capabilities as instant messaging? Where you'll be able to block someone from seeing that you are on? I think it's just sort of a computer burn out. I mean personally, I don't see WHY we need it but then on the other hand we have a lot of stuff we don't NEED.
Actually, I just got to thinking, I mean it just hit me literally. This is one of those cases that can go either way. I mean, it beats sending video messages in the sense while your recording it's just you and the screen...awkward. However, with live chat I'll be able to chat with (and this idea popped in my head) my grandma. If she's on. Again, there's the telephone for things like that. But it only proves my point that we like options and convenience; it doesn't matter if we NEED it at that time.

THE BEATLES on Rock Band!
Yes, it's been said the newest addition to Rock Band's line is a re-reincarnation of one of the most influential bands of all time; The Beatles. Unlike most video games however this one is appealing in more ways than the graphic appeal and music, as stated in the New York Times article, "Never before has a video game had such intergenerational cultural resonance." That's what makes this game more appealing. Laden with beautiful graphics, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and John Lennon come alive; capturing the interest of this generation and the one before it. It's said that the true message of the Beatles is shown through this game and that their music is brought alive. And what makes this such a great game, is that YOU and friends get to recreate the music all over again.
A game for all generations. For gamers and music lovers, this may be the game of the season.
And I personally can't wait to try it out =)
