Skype Launches New Video Messaging App

and app culture have changed the way we
communicate.”

recently took up the challenge to build a new app to run
alongside Skype and provide an ongoing form of video
chat. They knew they had to create something mobile
and lightweight, as spontaneous as messaging but as
intimate as calling. And it had to be fun and easy to use.
What they created was Skype Qik, and we’re so excited
to share it with you today.
