It seems probable that social network-watchers will "like" this a lot -- probably to the point of drooling and tweeting uncontrollably until they explode.
Equally enthusiastic, though, will be Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), which is set to buy the VoIP specialist for a massive US$8.5 billion. (See Microsoft to Buy Skype for $8.5B .)
A hook-up with Facebook would provide a significant boost to Skype's usage, which in turn could help Microsoft with its plans to generate revenues from inserting video ads into Skype's services. With that in mind, it'll be interesting to see the details underpinning any partnership between Facebook and Skype. (See Microsoft to Monetize Skype With Video Ads.)
