Skype for Mac Gets Facebook Integration

Skype on Thursday introduced an update for its beta Mac app that brings the Facebook integration already available on Windows PCs. Skype 5.4 for Mac Beta basically brings Facebook functionality into Skype. It’s available for download now. “Just like in our Windows client, you will now be able to IM and connect with your Facebook friends without leaving Skype,” Skype said in a blog post. “You will also be able to read and update your News Feed, as well as comment and ‘Like’ your Facebook friends’ posts – all within Skype for Mac.” To set it up, sign into Skype, click on the “Connect to Facebook” tab, and enter your Facebook sign-in details. Facebook features were added to Skype for Windows back in October 2010. At the time, Skype also added “Facebook Phonebook,” which let users call and text Facebook friends directly on mobile phones and landlines with a few clicks.

The Mac update, meanwhile, also includes an advertising platform, though paying Skype customers or those with Skype Credit won’t see the display ads, the company said.  Readmore
