Currently Facebook has around 750 million accounts. Skype has more than 170 million users, and hence Skype has much to advance by way of any collaboration with Facebook. Most surveys point out to the detail that Facebook users want to have voice, as well as video chat capability. Hence Facebook to has a lot to gain from Skypes expertise in voice and video chat.

Facebook and Skype had conversed a probable partnership, but an agreement could not be reached. The new Skype version that was released offered the facility of voice calling between Facebook friends, but it did not include the video chatting feature. The Device was purely one sided, as only Skype had added some Facebook features to its customer.
Facebook was also in race to buy Skype along with Google and Microsoft. Ultimately the company went to Microsoft in lieu of an all cash $8.5 billion deal. Till date Skype is Microsofts largest acquisition. Even though Facebook seemingly lost the race, it must have been pleased that Microsoft, and not Google, bought the Skype. Facebook and Microsoft realise that they have to collaborate in order to effectively counter Google, and so they have a good partnership going in many different areas of business. Microsoft had invested $240 in Facebook. Avg.Com/Retail
According to sources, Mark Zuckerberg will announce the awesome new feature, of Skype based video chat on Facebook.
