Because of Google+ Facebook is feeling a bit of heat.
However, a report Monday seems to indicate that Mark Zuckerburg and company aren't going to sit idly by and watch the search engine giant become a social media giant, as Facebook appears to be teaming up with Skype on a new video chat service.
Last month, Facebook's CEO announced that his social network would unveil an "awesome" new feature, built by the Facebook team in Seattle, this week (July 6).
The new collaboration - which positions Facebook more closely with shareholder Microsoft, who is finalizing an $8.5 billion aquisition of Skype - would reportedly see "deep integration" between the two services. Citing an insider source, Techcrunch announced the news, describing the powered-by-Skype Facebook video chat: "The product has been built on Skype and will include a desktop component. It’s not clear to me whether that means it will just work if a user has Skype already installed on the computer, or if additional software will need to be downloaded even if the user already uses Skype. But it’s clear that there’s very deep integration between the products, and from the user’s perspective, the product will be an in browser experience."
Official word will come on Wednesday, with Facebook holding an event at its Palo Alto headquarters.
