Sending PayPal money using Skype Beta 3.2
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Berlind/?p=408
From Skype's PR counsel Chaim Haas via e-mail comes news of the download availability of the newest beta (3.2) of Skype for Windows. Among some new features is the ability to send money (via PayPal) to other Skype users (we have an image gallery of screenshots that shows how this works). According to the e-mail, the enhancements are:
* Importing contacts from more sources – "Users can now import their contacts from web based e-mail applications such as MSN Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail." The way this works is, let's say you can't seem to find someone that you know is in Skype (based on their name). By importing e-mail addresses into the Skype client, it can then go off and see if anybody is registered under those e-mail addresses. If they are, you can add them to your contact list. If they're not, Skype can automatically send them a note encouraging them to join Skype and find you under your Skype username (a bit of viral marketing there) if they don't exist on the system… sends note find me there……
* Video Snapshot – Skype has taken the video-calling feature that it recently introduced and now makes it possible to grab a still image photo as well. The images can be used for your Skype avatar and on your Skype account profile.
* Send Money via Paypal – Now, we're starting to see the parent company's (eBay) plan for tying its various properties together.
