Skype embraces Facebook – atleast they plan to

 New York Times reports that Facebook and Skype are in talks to integrate their services. Although none of their spokesman agreed to comment on this but a person who was briefed on this arrangement told NYT on the promise of anonymity that the partnership will be announced in next few weeks. 

What exactly this integration would bring for users:
This integration would take place through Facebook Connect and under the partnership, people who use their Facebook credentials to log in to Skype will be able to see their Facebook friends on Skype. They will also be able to see their news feed and to sent text messages and call their friends’ landlines using Skype. In other words Skype users who have presence all over the world would be able to use Skype software to interact with their Facebook social.
Skype’s user base is mainly from business community, Marketing and Sales personnels, Software Engineers and Consultants etc. All of them should get ready to get their hands dirty with ‘Social Activities’ right from within their communication software like Skype.
