Facebook Chat in Skype

 

In October 2010, Skype debuted its new Windows client with Facebook integration, adding the ability to monitor your Facebook news feed and post, like or comment on status updates straight from within Skype.

 

This morning, the VoIP giant (which has been acquired by Microsoft in the meantime) released Skype for Windows 5.5 Beta, which now also lets you have instant messaging conversations with Facebook friends directly from the desktop client, once you have connected your Facebook with Skype.

 

Also, there’s a dedicated Facebook tab that filters your Skype contact list down to just your Facebook friends. A notification appears in the system tray if a friend comes online or sends you an instant message.

 

Other enhancements include a new ‘Call Control’ toolbar, improvements to the saving of a phone number in the “Call Phones” section and a number of UI changes.
