If for whatever reason you don't want to download and install Skype to your PC but are still interested in making calls through the service, you now can (or soon will be able to). Microsoft today introduced Skype for Web, a beta plugin that allows you to make Skype calls from your browser without having the download and install the full software package. You can also use it to send and receive chat messages.
Finally, No need to download a standalone software just to make an occasional skype call.
Should have been done ages ago really but it's nice to see that they're finally improving things.
Skype is shitty now. I cant call my friends most of the time. Bad service. Surprized how can MS fuck up a good app like skype.
