Together the deal means access to around 1 billion users Skype is integrating with Facebook to make it easier to call and video chat with friends and family on the social network.
The deal comes amid fevered rumours that Facebook plans to launch a phone of its own.
Meanwhile Skype is gearing up for a $100m (£62m) share issue.
"The essence of the Skype experience is communicating with the people you care about," said Rick Osterloh, Skype's head of consumer products.
The new Skype for Windows will include a Facebook tab. This means that for the first time Skype users can keep up-to-date and interact with their Facebook news feed including posting status updates, commenting and liking directly from Skype.
Added to that, the Facebook phonebook in Skype allows users to call and text Facebook friends directly on their mobile phones and landlines.
And if your Facebook friend is also a Skype contact, then users can make free Skype-to-Skype calls.
Group video calling is available in beta form as a free trial.
"We're working with companies such as Skype to make it easier to find your friends anytime you want to connect," said Ethan Beard, director of Facebook's developer network.
This video may be informative to Jesus campers, but to philosophers and logicians it is but a burden to be overcome.
While fueling the whole religion Vs spirituality dialectical farce it omits the most critical premise: Money. Science is not practiced in a society dictated by oligarchy, if this were the case buildings that were blown to smithereens would not be called coincidental anomalies.
It omits some of sciences most significant contributions, such as genetically modified food, nuclear weapons (any weapons), and the academic industrial complex. We do not conduct science in the west. We wage war. We conduct mandated research that does not compromise the underlying fraudulent financial system, and the oppressive patriarchy.
The video is wrong, myopic disinformation, which will most definitely serve as a catalyst for our demise.
Part one dealt with the pervasive illusion of freedom when using the internet, an idea that is commonly referenced by indy media zioborgs who claim to be holding the man down... they pretend like they are having some kind of significant impact because they are inauthentic infowhoring capitalist shills who thrive off the system they condemn... . Everything done on this website has been of my own time, money and making (sometimes linking) and thats A REAL SACRIFICE, AND ITS HOW IT HAS TO BE!!!
Part two will be action packed, documenting mankinds (the elites) plight into cybernetics, the coming AI singularity, an analysis of eugenics and its relationship with technology such as dating sites, internet pornography, robotics and humanoids, invitro fertilization, and avatar romance as factored into our understanding of the cancerous aspects of ourselves... topped off with a swift and fashionable debunking of the independent media that is capitalizing on peoples longing for some action which was created by depriving them of that which makes them essentially human for so long, while overshadowing and drowning out real uncut info hubs like this one... In addition I intend to reiterate the "problem" in plain terms, and state the grim reality that awaits us should someone not step up to the plate... All of this put to the kick ass (unreleased) ingenious music of Archie Cooper.
