Facebook: Skype Chatting?

So Google released Google+ with the Hangout feature (videochatting).  So the natural progression of things means that now Facebook has to do it too, right?  Seems that way.  Appears that they are working in conjunction with Skype (which is  Microsoft owned).  Is this communication bliss for Skype fans?  Or a fiendish deal set up between one of the largest software companies in the world with the largest social networking company on the world?

So, how does it work?  User's will need to download a plugin which will allow user's to click a button and call a friend from Facebook.  Mr. Zuckerberg went on the record to note that they are leaving the tech from companies such as Skype (that they are/will be partnering with) to the devices of the tech developers.  Unlike Google, who built their new social network primarily themselves and/or implementing tech they purchased and re-purposed   Zuckerberg didn't come out and directly say 'Google+' but might as well have.
