Facebook-Skype deal must go beyond voice chat

 

Editor's note: Damon Brown is a Northern California-based freelance writer and author of books, including "Damon Brown's Simple Guide to the iPad" and the forthcoming "The Complete Idiot's Guide To Memes," about why certain things go viral online.

(CNN) -- The last couple of weeks have been busy ones for news about Facebook. "The Social Network" movie hit theaters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg donated $100 million on Oprah and, if rumors are correct, the world's biggest social-networking site will be partnering with online phone service Skype to help you chat with your Facebook friends through the site.

According to All Things D's Kara Swisher, Facebook and Skype are about to announce a partnership that includes "integration of SMS, voice chat and Facebook Connect."

It's not clear exactly what this deal would entail, but possibilities include Facebook Chat over a browser to cell phones, and video chat among Facebook friends.

The question is: Do people actually want to interact with their Facebook friends on a more intimate level?

According to Facebook, the average user has 130 friends. But these connections likely include your ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, casual acquaintances and maybe even that weird person who sat behind you in seventh-grade biology -- in other words, not necessarily people you'll want to chat with on the phone.

Skype already has a huge following, but a connection to a 500-million-member social network wouldn't hurt. Skype's appeal overseas also would make Facebook much more attractive abroad.

But to truly succeed, the partnership will have to go beyond voice chat, because people already can use Skype to talk to people they really care about.

Sixth Sense

Pranav Mistry is the inventor of SixthSense,

a wearable device that enables new interactions

 between the real world and the world of data.

We grew up interacting with the physical objects around us. There is an enormous number of them that we use every day. Unlike most of our computing devices, these objects are much more fun to use. When you talk about objects, one other thing automatically comes attached to that thing, and that is gestures: how we manipulate these objects, how we use these

objects in everyday life. We use gestures not only to interact with these objects, 

but we also use them to interact with each other. 

A gesture of "Namaste!",

maybe, to respect someone, or maybe -- in India I don't need to teach 

a kid that this means "four runs" in cricket. It comes as a part of our everyday learning.

So, I am very interested, from the beginning, that how -- 

How our knowledge about everyday objects and gestures,

and how we use these objects, can be leveraged to our interactions 

with the digital world. Rather than using a keyboard and mouse, 

why can I not use my computer in the same way that I interact in the physical world?
