Skype introduces a Share button for websites -- will you use it?

The internet has turned us all into sharers. If you find something interesting online, be it a photograph, video, or an article, there’s a good chance you might share it with people via Facebook, or Twitter.

Microsoft wants Skype to become another way of easily sharing content, and so has introduced a new Share button which will let you quickly forward content on to people you know. "Effortless sharing that sparks richer conversations", as the Skype team describes it.

It works exactly as you’d expect it to. When you encounter something of interest, click on the Skype Share button, sign into your Skype account, choose the friends to share with, and click Send. You can add an optional message.

It’s not all that different from the Share buttons you’ll find across the web -- look at the top of this article and you’ll see buttons for Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Twitter. Microsoft is hoping web developers will add the button to their sites, but to begin, the software giant has introduced it on MSN.com, and sify.com in India.

Do you think you’ll share content in this way? Leave your comments below.
