Soon you might start seeing a new ‘share’ button on websites to join common ones like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest; Skype is announcing its own share button today.
Once you click on the button, a Window will pop up asking you to sign in to your Skype account, pick a friend or two to share with, and then hit Send. You can add a description to the link before sending as well.
