Skype for Web enters public beta

Skype for Web (beta) and its timeline view

Microsoft's voice and video calling app Skype is continuing to step into the browser space with a US and UK beta of Skype for Web via skype.com. 

Available as a smartphone app and desktop client, the roll-out envisions people using Skype for Web in order to respond to contacts via a bigger screen, or on an internet café computer that might not have the program installed.
