Link: Facebook debuts Skype-powered Video Calling →

Hands-on review from Engadget. The service seems very intuitive, with a little video icon at the corner of every Facebook profile to denote an option to initiate a new video call. Skype has also beefed up their own software to include the ability to add Facebook contacts and chat with them directly. This is a huge step for telepresence in general and certainly paves the way for video calling to be a norm in society. It should be interesting when Skype has the Facebook functionality built into the iPhone app, which also supports the FaceTime standard over 3G.
