This year seems to be the year of mergers in the online world. With Google acquiring Admob, to Nokia buying out Motally, we have now heard of Facebook’s recent alliance with Skype.
Just this week, it was announced that Facebook & Skype have teamed up to bring Skype users a richer, more social, “Facebookish” experience.
The new version of Skype, 5.0 for Windows, now boasts a handful of new features which bring Skype users and Facebookers together. Skype users are now able to communicate with their Facebook friends directly from their Skype account. The Facebook news feed has been intergrated with Skype, meaning that you can now interact with your friends right from your Skype account. Allowing you to engage with your Facebook friends from Skype, you can now also call them & send them text messages from Skype as well. If your Facebook friends are also Skype users, you will be able to make free Skype-to-Skype calls to them.
Skype has also cleaned up their overall look as well as added an exciting new group video-calling feature. This feature is still in beta and has been made freely available to everyone.
