Are you a frequent Facebook user? Well I'm just going to play it safe and assume yes. Well, if you use the chat frequently I'm sure you have suffered many buggy problems with it. However, if you don't experience such problems and are also a Skype user you may be in luck.
Kara Swisher from AllThingsD has reported that Facebook and Skype are close to announcing a deal which could mean we get voice chat, SMS or maybe even video-calling through Facebook using a Skype account thanks to an integration with Facebook Connect.
The newest Skype update (Skype 5.0) is coming out in a few weeks (which was already revealed to allow 10-way video calling) and we may be seeing this deal with Facebook emerge. At the moment it is currently unknown whether Facebook Connect will be on desktop platforms only at first or if we will see phone compatibility at the same time. What do you think of the possibility of a Facebook/Skype alliance? Leave your thoughts below.
