PayPal introduces New Payment Solution for Digital Goods

Yesterday at Innovate 2010 (PayPal’s annual developer conference) the impending release of a new service that caters specifically for digital content and/or goods was announced. The new PayPal service lets consumers pay for digital goods and content in as little as two clicks without having to leave the site on which the purchase is being made. PayPal is moving in for a slice of the micropayment pie by giving consumers a quick and safe way to execute low-priced impulse type online purchases. more ›››

Digital Integration of Facebook with Skype

he release of Skype 5.0 has seen huge improvements and additional features; most favourably the new Facebook tab. This digital integration sees a progress of usability between the social networking sites, and will definitely increase the popularity of Skype, as appeal will widen and Skype will in time become the place to communicate with friends, family and work colleagues.

The Facebook tab allows users to SMS, chat or call their Facebook friends via Skype right from the News Feed. It is making Skype a much friendlier platform with increased interaction, and has evolved the contact list to include all of your Facebook friends that have their phone numbers on their profiles, as well as the ability to put a face to the name with profile picture integration.

Not only is Skype beckoning new and more users with this digital integration, but it is also allowing free calls to be made to people who are both on your Skype list as well as a Facebook friend. Surely with Skype being accessible from new devices, such as the iPhone 4 with Facetime……this will, in time, eliminate the actual ear to ear telephone call, and a new era of face to face calling through handsets will be the new thing? more ›››
