Skype has launched a newer desktop clientversion which allows users to start a conversation with their Facebook friends. If the other does not have the skype client, he can answer with facebook web interface and also have a video conversation.
“Today we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Facebook has reached yet another milestone with the launch of Skype 5.4 Beta for Mac and Skype 5.7 Beta for Windows allowing you to conduct a Facebook-to-Facebook call from within Skype,” Skype announced.
“Initiating a Facebook-to-Facebook call from within Skype is quite easy; all you need to do is connect your Skype and Facebook accounts. Then, select a Facebook friend and hit the video call button in Skype- your friend simply picks up the call from Facebook,” Skype explained.
