Bravo, Facebook. Social VR is **w officially something I want in Facebook. You made me want it, damn you.
Ever since Facebook bought Oculus VR for $2 billion in 2014 (http://mashable.com/2014/03/25/facebook-acquires-oculus-vr-for-2-billion/), Mark Zuckerberg has made clear his intention to merge social networking with virtual reality. While it made intuitive sense, I really thought Zuckerberg was paying lip service to the idea.*
With its immersive headgear that cuts you off from the outside world and the pricey graphics-laden hardware on the back-end, the Oculus Rift system seemed tailor made for deep-dive gaming, **t chatting up your Aunt May on Facebook.
