Skype Users Get Social Networking Software

VoIP network, Skype, has announced its venture into social networking online, with the launch of skySpace, its media-centric social networking software. skySpace is aimed at multiplying the volume and quality of information shared among Skype's 136 million users, on Skype's 3.0 Gold Version for Windows.

skySpace will enable Skype users, worldwide, to share their photos, video, audio, and documents via their skySpace homepage; either in private, or with the community at large. Users may also personalize their skySpace homepage with backgrounds, images, layouts, borders, and fonts while simultaneously conversing with their contacts, via IM. skySpace users may also access feedback on the number of visitors and their identities on the hompages.

Adrian Cockroft, Engineer, eBay Research Labs said, "Skype's most interesting capability is the application to application messaging, which enables a new class of distributed software like the skySpace peer-to-peer browser."

Pablo Bertorello, founder of skySpace, affirms, "skySpace is the first social network for Skype, christening new business models around user-generated content: artistic personalization, original products, and third-party add-ons like printing, fax, and backup. Skype, having Certified skySpace, now distributes it as premium software."

skySpace is available in 27 languages, across the world. Click here to download skySpace.
