According to sources close to the situation, Facebook and Skype are poised to announce a significant and wide-ranging partnership that will include integration of SMS, voice chat and Facebook Connect, reports All Things Digital.
The move by the pair — which have tested small contact importer integrations before — is a natural one for the social networking giant, which is aiming to be the central communications and messaging platform for its users, across a range of media.
Facebook’s goal, according to sources: To mesh communications and community more tightly together and add more tools to allow users to do so.
