Facebook Wants To Buy Skype

[Daniel]

Well, it turns out that Facebook is considering buying Skype outright. 'Skype is reportedly talking to Facebook about some sort of deal. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been involved in internal discussions about buying Skype, while Facebook also reached out to the Luxembourg-based company about forming a joint venture.'"

hmm, not a fan of skype tbh. I do have it on my iPhone, and I do go on Faceboook a lot so this could be interesting

Skype and Paypal are owned by Ebay

So FB is planning to buy only Skype or the whole company?

If they buy Skype, they should change their name to Phonebook.

might be an interesting development, i use both myself. Skype owns msn or pretty much any other IM in my opinion, iuse it for online IM and for calling phones.. i just hope if it happens FB will add the option of Canadian phone numbers

LOL, yea. This could be really cool since Apple's "Facetime" was shit, mainly cause you have to be on WiFi, but other then that I would love to be able to voice, or video chat with my friends on facebook from my PC and iPhone. That would be soo siick.

Skype, Paypal and Ebay are the products of a single company

And FB wants to buy skype only or the whole company?

Skype was made in Estonia.
I live in Estonia.
When FB will buy Skype then it means more fame for Estonia.

So Fuck Yeah

It seems that Google is looking at buying it too, which I'm hoping for since they're much more likely to open things up.
