Skype Brings Facebook-To-Facebook Calling To Its Client
There could be nothing better than to reach nearly a billion people through Facebook. The social network has become a target for tons of digital entities trying to leverage the social network. We will not talk about brands and business, rather online services and the most recent example is that of Spotify. Yesterday, Skype made a more social move by enabling Facebook to Facebook Calls via the Skype Client.
Skype already had Facebook integration in its clients. However the latest move follows the announcement Skype made back in July regarding powering the Facebook video chat feature. The platform is widely used and offers Facebook the perfect service to roll out or integrate video chat functionality within the social network’s ecosystem.
Snaptz Wants To Bring Chat To Your Old Mobile Phone
Concilio Networks has finally released a public beta of it's Snaptz service (only for Finnish mobile phone number for now). The service let's you see the availability status of your friends in internet communities, set your own status and chat and talk with them using ordinary mobile phones. Snaptz works with the most popular Internet-based services like Gmail Chat, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger and ICQ. A promising idea for a service.
As good as it initially sounds, after landing on their site, I got confused. The website could be more clear on the terms of what's free and what I need to pay for . 'Chat'-services are universally seen as free services so I was not sure what will be a paid feature and what won't when the promotions run out.
