As a user of Skype, the Voip app, the news of the integration with Thomson Local comes as a potentially excellent addition and shows signs of foresight and innovation I had thought had ceased to exist since the EBay buy out. While its certainly a step in the right direction for Skype, until it is seamlessly integrated with the browser, without out the need for the clunky toolbar, its use will be limited.
Surely here is an obvious space for a Firefox or Flock extension? I am sure a script could be written for Greasemonkey, a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web page to change its behaviour, to eliminate the need for the toolbar?
