i always thought of skype as more of a parallel to AIM than anything, because of its instant message type system and its web chatting abilities. I think it would be a good idea to broaden the field more, because i know it is also extremely useful to talk to people over seas and not have to pay.

I think this is a great move for Skype and bring in many more users. Personally on my facebook account I have almost no content because even with full security, you do not know who can see your information (sometimes facebook even asks me if I am a male or female). If Skype created a social network that did not sell my information for their revenue, I would switch from facebook to skype before facebook even knew what happened.
