Internet telephony provider Skype plans to offer bloggers and others the ability to hold audio chats in the next version of Net telephone product, co-founder Niklas Zennstrom said Tuesday night at the Web 2.0 Summit here.

The next version of Skype will enable people to post a link on a blog or Web site that will take people to a public chat room when clicked on, he said during a question-and-answer session during dinner.

The live chats would be "Skypecasts," which Zennstrom described as public conversations or audio conferences that people can moderate. He would not provide a timeline for the features except to say it would be "soon."

It refers to the use of the Skype voice over IP software to record teleconferences in which multiple people can be present in a broadcast despite being geographically distributed and publish them as podcasts, which allow audio or video content to be syndicated over the Internet.The front-end solution for podcasters to create great sounding audio recordings from interviews and conference calls using Skype.
