The plan will launch in 20 countries that have localized MySpace communities. The companies said MySpace has 110 million active users and Skype has 220 million users.
The news comes a little more than two weeks after Skype co-founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis stepped down from executive roles at the company and owner eBay Inc. acknowledged that it paid too much for the company two years ago, taking a $1.43 billion charge.
