Is Skype on Facebook's shopping list?

We all know that Facebook added Skype to its friend list last year, when the massively popular VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) client added full Facebook integration into version 5.0 of its Windows platform, however could that friendship be about to blossom much furthermore? Like as not even marriage is on the cards?

Skype tie-up

Reuters is reporting that Facebook is considering a Skype "tie-up" and even suggests that the social network's CEO Mark Zuckerberg "has been involved in internal discussions about buying Skype". Oo-er.

Which way will Skype go? Either way it'll be jumping into bed with a web giant - probably just the tonic it needs afterwards Apple and Google both entered its domain by getting all excited about video chat.
