Facebook set to strike deal with Skype
Just as "Google Plus" is all set to launch, Facebook and Skype are about to strike a deal that would bring the video chatting service to the social networking site.
With Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promising an "awesome" new feature on July 6, Skype, which was recently purchased by Microsoft for a whopping US$8.5 billion, could become a fixture on the world's largest social network.
The beta version of Google's social network, Google Plus, debuted last week to rave reviews, especially for its +Hangouts feature that allows for multi-user video chat. Facebook users update message and status through their profile, and share photos, but the addition of video chat will bring an interesting change to their account.
Editor, Tech Crunch, Michael Arrington stated, "Facebook, in collaboration with Skype, will unveil its video chat option which will be powered by Skype."
