Facebook and Skype to partner up, the future is now! [Rumour]
It seems like a match made in heaven – and according to AllThingsD who have been contacted with familiar sources, Facebook and Skype could be reeling to partner up and are ‘apparently’ working on a deal that would integrate Facebook Connect with Skype accounts.
With this rumour comes some proof too in the form of a screenshot for new Facebook features. The image shows that once you connect Skype with Facebook, you’d be able to SMS, chat with or call your Facebook friends directly from Skype. You should also be able to login into Skype with your Facebook credentials, too – and so whatever your main choice for social interacticity, be it Facebook or Skype- you would have a choice in which to use as a mother account.
Skype 5 is soon to be released in Beta form in the next few weeks, and the chances of this social partner up’s features being ready for then are good. All of this is good news for Skype, as their database will increase through Facebook’s very own 500 million user list.
