Microsoft is weak on social network, and Skype could be a first step to fixing that.
Skype offers a great foundation for social because the contacts it contains are often better ones than Facebook offers.
By adding to components to what already has an entrenched base, Microsoft can leap forward without trying to "break into" the established market.
- officemonkey 15y ago>the contacts it contains are often better ones than Facebook offers. Really? That's not my experience. The contacts I have on Skype are the people I call from my computer, not all my friends. For instance, I don't call my coworkers from Skype, because all their numbers are on my cell phone. I don't call my close friends, because al their numbers are on my cell phone. In fact, the only contacts I have on Skype are the out-of-town people I video call (my parents, my sister, my niece) and the places I order food for delivery.
