Facebook Calls To Compete with Airtime and Google+ Hangouts


Following recent news, it appears that Facebook is now testing a new feature “Call” button  to be positioned at the top users profiles pages.  This is a recent new development following the video chat feature which was launched when Facebook partnered with Skype over a year ago.
