An interesting post from The Download Squad talks about the new version of Skype and its PayPal integration, and it makes one wonder why anyone would ever use services such as the Western:

Skype 3.2 beta is out, with a few new features:

  • Send money with PayPal
  • View your account from within the application
  • Import contacts from more sources
  • Use a video snapshot for your profile

The biggest update is probably the ability to send money to other Skype users through PayPal. Skype can act as a contact list for sending money, a feature PayPal didn’t previously have. If you send money to a user with a Skype account, they’ll receive a notification in Skype. You’ll need to send money to someone who is in a country serviced by PayPal.
