Will Skype Become a Social Network?
Filed in archive Future by Linda Roeder on October 04, 2007
Skype is an Instant messaging program that lets you keep in touch with your friends and see if they're online. Send them a message with the click of a button and find out more about them by reading their profile. Skype also lets you make voice calls to your friends.
Sounds like a social networking site, doesn't it? Skype is not currently considered a social networking site, they're just an IM. Tom Keating, of the VoIP & Gadgets Blog thinks that it's about time Skype do something about this and become a full fledged social networking site.
Why not? After all, they already have the database of people and the friend's lists, not to mention simple profiles. With just a little more work, they could be bigger than Facebook.
