Finally, Skype Moves Into Social Networking

It's about time those execs at e-bay who bought Skype figured out how to make a little money off this great service... by partnering with Myspace.

I'm no fan of Myspace, but the move is still a good direction for Skype.

You would think a free online phone service would seem like a perfect fit for social networking. It is. I just wonder why it wasn't done sooner. If you see a "friend" online, you could instantly call to chat. It's a Mash-up that creates synergy.

Maybe the reason Skype chose Myspace over Facebook (which is 100 times better than Myspace) is because Myspace has a more international user base. I wonder if the deal bans Skype from working with other social networks. If it does, then Skype better make some good money off this deal cause it makes sense for them to head in the social network direction as much as possible.
