Facebook is going to integrate video calls through Skype
|Just as expected, the biggest social network has announced that they are going to integrate some services of the most popular VoIP program – Skype. That’s right, Facebook is going to enable video calls through Skype directly from your browser. This is going to allow all 750 million Facebook users to make video calls without the need of anything more than a browser. This feature is probably going to be introduced in the mobile apps too. As you probably know, with version 5.3 you can already check Facebook news, status updates and comments directly from Skype and with version 5.5 you’ll also be able to use Facebook chat. The new functions are also going to be released for Mac users too, but for now they will have to wait. Other new Facebook features are the group chat and the automatic adjustment of the simple chat to the size of your window.
This is going to be huge. Skype has been influential and partnering with Facebook is revolutionary and a smart move.
