On March 10th, 1876 Alexander Graham Bell described in his notebook entry the first successful experiment with the telephone. Today, the telephone has greatly evolved from landline, to mobile, and now VOIP based phone systems. No matter what form it takes, it still has one main purpose — to connect people to people.

I want to share with you an Facebook application I found today that merges Skype (skype allows you to make calls to other skype users for free or a landline or mobile for a small fee through the Internet) with your facebook profile.

The new application is called Skype Me. Skype Me adds a “call me” button to your profile page allowing your friends who have Skype to call you for free via the Internet. It also has an option to show your friends your status allowing them to call you when you are free. You can also see which of your friends are using the application and you can call them as well.

It’s a nice little application that help you to stay in close contact with your friends. I’ll be using this new application in the following weeks to interview people within my network about how they are using Facebook to grow their social networks (musicians, developers, marketers…etc) and record it into a Podcast that will be available for free on this website. Stay Tune.
