Facebook Reveals Video Chat Powered by Skype

Facebook video chat is real: the social network has unveiled its rumored video chat product, powered by Skype.

"A few months ago, we started working with Skype to bring video calling to Facebook," Facebook announced on its blog. "We built it right into chat, so all your conversations start from the same place. To call your friend, just click the video call button at the top of your chat window."

The new chat product, according to Facebook's blog, will allow users to call their friends right from Facebook. The revamped chat system now includes a sidebar with "the people you message most." It automatically appears when your browser is big enough.
