There was much speculation leading up to Facebook's product rollout announcement on Wednesday -- and for once, it was right on the money. Facebook announced it will be integrating the popular video chat service Skype into its social network, with the rollout taking place over the next several weeks. Facebook also announced improvements to its text chat tool, namely the launch of multiperson chat and new chat design box. During the press event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook now has 750 million users -- a number that had been tossed around for the past several weeks as likely.
Facebook is working tirelessly to take its own share of social webspace. This is really cool. Integrating Skype into Facebook will indeed be another milestone in social media world. Great job!
