Would You Like the Red Pill or the Blue Pill?

Unype is a mashup of Google Earth with VoIP service provider Skype - and available as a Facebook plugin application to give your social network that virtual interactive experience.
RANT WARNING: Am I the only one that thinks we’re hurtling toward the Wachowski brothers‘ Matrix. Not only can I chat with virtual friends - but hey, now I can pretend to be one as well. Gee! I can stop going down to the real pub to meet real mates - just plug the computer into the back of my head. Get me a glass of water and chuck us the red pill.
On the other hand; if you take the blue pill you can beg for your life back enjoy seeing other Facebook users roaming the Google Earth and interact with them using your Skype account.
At least it’s free - and they promise not to send in any Agents spyware, adware or malware.
Happy days!
