Windows-owned Skype and content discovery service StumbleUpon couldn’t be more different from each other, but with their newest updates, it looks like both services will be putting messaging features front and center. And given the continuous rise of the messaging apps, this shift seems reasonable.
On both its mobile and laptop version, Skype has optimized its instant messaging function to be prominently displayed on the main interface. Meanwhile, StumbleUpon is introducing a new social chatting feature, which lets users who have a webpage easily start a conversation about it right away with fellow StumbleUpon users with just a few taps.
