Mark Zuckerberg announced that presently facebook has 750 million users and collaboration with skype would give a real boost to its user base which is presently 145 million.

The move of facebook is sensed as an answer to Google+1, a week old social networking service of Google. It has really heaten up the competitive heat in the market.

Most of the functions and features of Google+’s social networking site is similar to Facebook, but Google was a step ahead because of its new video conferencing facility. The video chatting facility of Google+1 allows 10 people to conference well.
