Facebook is Launching In-Browser Video Chat Next Week In Partnership With Skype


Earlier this week while visiting Seattle, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tipped off Seattle press that the company would be launching an “awesome” new product next week that has been built by Facebook’s Seattle team. The press invitations to that event went out , saying nothing more than “Please join us for an event at Facebook” on July 6.

It shows that Facebook will launch a new video chat product, powered by Skype, that works in browser. Suddenly those chat icons in the invitation have a lot more meaning.

The product has been built on Skype and will include a desktop component. It’s not still whether that means it will just work if a user has Skype already installed on the computer, or if additional software will need to be downloaded even if the user already uses Skype. But it’s clear that there’s very deep integration between the products, and from the user’s perspective, the product will be an in browser experience.

Facebook and Skype have already been working together, including integration of various Facebook features into the Skype service.

But this is something else entirely. The partnership could substantially increase Skype usage. Facebook has more than 750 million active users. Currently Skype has just 170 million. And it will certainly help Facebook become even stickier for users as they start to have voice and video chat as an option to communicate.

And this also brings Facebook even closer to Microsoft, which is a Facebook shareholder and has a pending acquisition of Skype. The guys in Redmond must be smiling today, something that happens far too infrequently at Microsoft HQ.

    you should develop separate personas so that you can
    please more callers. The support provided the manufactures
    of Free to air receivers would teach you step by step how to use your free to air Receiver.

    For most women talking on a sex based phone line
    is like acting in a movie, but you can do this with
    curlers in your hair and your figure doesn’t matter.

    in mind while using these devices:. Your Oscilloscope kit is likely to create

  4. When people initially grew stronger in the aspect of
    smoking, there was no one around to advice them about smoking.

  5. Turn it all the way around to it's fullest degree and then back about. Many people who have smoked weed have already experienced these negative effects. Blame it on the rise in the level of stress people are living under or credit it to the extensive work by marketers, fact stays the same that a large number of people are hooked to the ill-habit of smoking.

  6. Eco-friendly Sex Toys It may come as a surprise
    to some environmentalists but sex toys are not environmentally friendly, generally speaking.

    Still, this is a theft and something that's valued at $250. A 2 hour charge helps you enjoy the Lelo Mia for as long as 4 hours.

  16. Keyboard Let's fleshlight just put this up front: the keyboard in Windows Phone 7, allows you to add your address automatically in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: field of all outgoing messages. Check your abilities, practice new techniques, and test how lengthy you can final in one of the best things about the Internet is the ability to research the places recommended before actually going there.
