Facebook plans to take its method of social networking and connecting with friends to another level.

The social media giant has just "friended" another major communication tool -- Skype.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced the site will soon offer the video chat feature. The joint venture could triple or even quadruple Skype's video traffic.

"We're using the best technology that's out there for doing video chat with the best social infrastructure that's out there in order to create some really cool new scenarios."

Skype, the well-known Internet phone service that allows users to chat online and internationally, also recently joined forced with Microsoft.
