New Skype Features

Since all these social networks are getting on board with the internet phone services, what happens when all your friends like using different providers? It gets to be a chore to be able to connect with all of them through the many different sites. So Skype set out to fix that problem by creating a new hybrid version of the service with a Facebook application. One of the aspects of the new Skype is that is can be connected to Facebook and constantly be getting information from the social networking site. You will have the option to disconnect it from the internet phone. One of the problems is that not too many people are up for constantly talking with people over the internet because typing is so much easier and faster. Which do you prefer to use? I also heard that AOL is revamping their AIM so that it can be integrated with all the other sites. Once again, the question arises if we really need to be connected like that all the time. Does it feel like some days there is a cord constantly tugging at your ankle?

I really don't think the social sites should use phone services like video conferencing.

I think the phone services like video conferencing should have a age limit on them.
