Good news for MySpace users!
Starting November, they will be able to talk on the phone through the service provided by the new partnership between MySpace and Skype, the MySpaceIM, based on VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

MySpace to Surpass FaceBook with its Integrated MySpaceIM

The company said that MySpace users will not have to download any additional software for using the service, and they’ll also have the possibility to set their profile to Private if they don’t want to receive Skype calls from people out of their friends lists.

They can even prescreen incoming callers and block any Skype call or user they want.

Another thing they can do is to link their MySpace profiles and avatars to their accounts on Skype.
Chris DeWolfe, cofounder and CEO of MySpace said that "Skype has the leading technology in Internet voice communications and an enormous international user base that we're thrilled to connect with our existing community.
Our network has no geographical boundaries -- Internet calling is the natural next step for how our members communicate with each other."

According to the latest statistics, MySpace has over 110 million active users monthly, while Skype has more than 220 million registered users.
