connectivity shared among the two online giants.
This totally fits in line with Facebook’s goal of having a presence across every single form of media and communication. It already spans across literally thousands, if not tens of thousands, of websites because of the integrated “Like” buttons and third-party site log-in services. And let’s face it: the mere fact that TV shows encourage viewers to go to their Facebook pages is nothing short of amazing for the social networking site.
Skype, which has 124 million active users, is by far the world’s leading VoIP provider. That’s clearly one thing Facebook does not have yet and it of course could not choose a better partner than Skype.
The deal could also bridge the two services in other ways – users could receive their Skype messages on Facebook, or Skype users can click on one of their contacts to see his or her latest Facebook activity.
This will reportedly all be integrated into the next version of Skype. It’s unclear when that will be, or when any noticeable changes from this partnership will be visible on Facebook.
