MySpace: free calls with Skype
Posted on 10/18/2007
With the service, which starts from the end of November, the two firms say they are creating the world's largest online, voice-connected community. MySpace users will be able to place free internet calls to other people on MySpace, or to Skype users.
The Skype option will be added to MySpace's existing instant messaging feature and will not require MySpace users to download any additional Skype software.
MySpace has more than 110 million users, while Skype has 220 million. This is not the only agreement that News Corp (owned by MySpace) has brought out.
MySpace is infact partnering with Sony BMG in a music licensing deal that will make content from Sony BMG artists available on their MySpace profile pages.
