SKYPE CAN TARGET FACEBOOK AND TWITTER USERS

The giatnt internet phone provider Skype launches a aplication that help users to interacte face to face .This new technology has depersonalized the way we comunicate with one another.

Facebook and Twitter. In two ads, Skype takes shots at the social networks for the role they play in removing the personal element from communication.

Skype’s apparent goal of getting people to have more face-to-face communication (using Skype’s service, naturally) is certainly laudable. The choice of target for these two ads, however, is a little peculiar. For one thing, Twitter is not a direct competitor for Skype; nor is it an indirect competitor, really. So it’s hard to see how taking shots at Twitter does Skype any good
