Skype, a global Internet communications company, which offers free high-quality phone calls to anyone with an Internet connection, is preparing to mark its second anniversary next week by opening up its platform to anyone who wants to integrate Skype's presence and instant messaging services into their websites or applications.

The company claims that by opening up its platform to the web, it will now be simple for anyone to connect to its member base, which has already passed more than 51 million people in just 2 years. Customers will also be able to integrate both presence and instant messaging features into websites and applications such as online gaming, e-commerce, communications and productivity tools, instantly building community and connections between people who can chat and alert others to their online availability.

"In two short years, Skype has pioneered a revolution in global Internet communications by making it simple for anyone with an Internet connection to make and receive superior quality phone calls for free," said Niklas Zennström, Skype CEO and co-founder. "People love to talk, and voice is fast becoming the key category for global Internet communications. Skype's mission is to make communicating through the Internet natural and easy to do, so in addition to voice communications we offer the power of both instant messaging and presence, which have become as ubiquitous as email over the last five years."
