It will depend greatly on how Facebook actually does this "deep integration" the article mentions. If they are just going to plug into skype and let your FB info become your skype username and pw, then adoption might not take off as much due to having to open and run a separate application to do anything. On the other hand, if they make each facebook chat a virtual skype call and incorporate skype sessions onto the backend, then I could see this improving chat and make adding video capabilities fairly easy. As for it taking off, if it requires no extra work then sure, their userbase might grab it and go. If it's just a plugin for skype the application, then I'm not so sure.
- ceslami 15y agoI don't think they are going to "just plug in to Skype" -- sources seem to suggest that there will be some sort of browser based experience. That said, they can definitely get a leg up on Google+ if they don't require you to download a plug-in.
