Can you FaceTime with someone who has a Skype account?

I am just getting comfortable using FaceTime with my friends who have computers and phone but I have friends who are not Apple users, I know, I'm working on them. They have Skype accounts for their video talk format. Can I use my FaceTime to call them on their Skype address?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

No; they're totally separate from one another, but you can easily use Skype on your Mac.

I believe you can only FaceTime to someone with and apple ID email address ormiphone telephone number. I'm not a big time user of FaceTime, but you can access more information here:
