A new war has heated up on the IM market – Skype is releasing IM developer tools. This on the same day that Google Talk was launched – what a co-incident…If AOL, MSN and Yahoo got a bit nervous about Google Talk, I guess this announcement wasn’t too welcome either. Tuff days on the IM market – but very interesting too, competition is healthy and will bring out the best products, however I believe this will be the beginning of the end of the weaker IM’s that are already struggling to keep it up. The Skype IM developer tools will enable softwares and web services to integrate Skype IM to their offering which is really very welcome. Expect to see Skype IM on many desktop applications and web services like dating, social networks and blogs in the near future. And by the way, why not on browsers too?
