Skype launched a new product called SkypeFind not long ago, which is embedded in its latest version 3.1.0.152. At the first glance, SkypeFind is an online local yellow page service that will help users to easily find contact numbers and addresses of local businesses, such as hotels in Shanghai, and restaurants in Beijing.

Interestingly, Skype seems to be only promoting the Skype Find service on the two Chinese language web pages (simplified and traditional). Perhaps it is an attempt of Skype to tap into the Chinese Internet market. Though I believe whoever downloads and installs this version of Skype will have SkypeFind on it as well.
