Facebook, the famous social networking site is the best so far and everyone seems to be an active member on it. This social networking site, Facebook has every feature but it lacks one thing, which is the video capability, in a case that keeps family and friends apart.

But, worry no further as you are bound to get lucky very soon, if you are an active member on Facebook! The company has decided to team up with Skype in the coming months and thus it would be a complete relief for those who are in a long distance relationship!

The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is actually planning on buying this video ability Skype, and if not so, then they will have a joint venture with the company. Reports say that, Mark Zuckerberg, wants to buy Skype for a price of $3 billion to $4 billion. But, other sources say that Skype and Facebook will only be a joint source!

We also know that these two major companies are not enemies as it was recently known that when Skype released its version 5.0 software for Windows, it included a FB icon which allowed users to call and chat up with friends through the source of using Skype.

Skype, being such a good software application, is so much in demand that it is not only Facebook who is chasing after it. Google too wanted to have a joint venture with the company, but some how that did not work out!
