Facebook is reportedly about to launch a new video chat product powered by Microsoft-owned Skype.

The move follows on from the company founder Mark Zuckerberg's comments last week that Facebook would have an "awesome" new feature to shout about on 6 July.

This wouldn't be the first time Skype has played the integration game with Facebook. In October 2010 it inked a deal with the company by slotting its "News Feed" and "Phonebook" features into its software.

Microsoft already has close ties with Facebook. Its Bing product powers the dominant social network's search and Redmond owns shares in the privately owned firm.

This is great and all... but in all seriousness there has to be a better sync of the Windows version and OS X version of the software... One good example is the lack of a Business version of Skype for OS X (while it's available for Windows). I love Skype, all of my phone numbers both business and personal are through Skype, but I would really appreciate better OS X support, especially a launch of a business version for OS X. I could really use the features to make my work and Skype experience more streamlined.
