Skype 3 Beta Includes Shopping Features

The all new Skype 3.0 Beta has been publicly released with Click to Call functionality aimed at easing communication among eBay users, another fruitful feature allows users to  manage up to 100 Web-based chats with users, regardless of whether or not they have the VoIP software installed.

Skype is also distributing web toolbars for Firefox and IE, which converts normal Telephone numbers on webpages into clickable call buttons. eBay also said that they are working on additional functionalities which would help them generate more revenue from Skype.

I’m a newbie, I just started using Skype since the past week, just to talk to my buddies who use only Skype and nothing else. 

When I compare both Skype and Google Talk head to head, I feel GTalk has better Voice Quality, but still Skype has its own advantages. My Skype user name is xthilakx, feel free to call me.

    Excellent article. Have you also seen the Lifehacker article, Skype one-click dial with a text file? Very interesting implementation of the new features of Skype.

    Skype is great, if not the best. I’ll be downloading this soon. Thank you.
