Skype and Facebook integration gets my tick of approval

Here’s a big integration that I’m sure a lot of people will be excited about.

Skype 5.0 for Windows, which has just been released, has one of Skype's most significant ever enhancements. A Facebook tab.

This will bring your Facebook experience into Skype, meaning users can immediately SMS, chat or call their Facebook friends via Skype directly from their News Feed.

The Facebook News Feed option will display a list of activity nearly identical to what you would see if you were on Facebook, except below each status update there are two noticeable Skype buttons: SMS or Call.

The Skype 5.0 release also includes improved 10-way group video calling, much more enhanced contact lists, more emphasis on profiles, and a completely enhanced user experience.

With these changes, I am certain a lot more people would be excited to try Skype.

And this paves the way for Skype to become the primary connector between friends, family and social contacts.
