In Skype’s new desktop application for Windows, Facebook has its own tab along with tabs for your Skype profile information and a Skype home tab that displays tutorial information about Skype.

To get started, click on the Facebook tab and sign in with your Facebook user name and password. After signing in, you’ll be greeted with a switchable view for your newsfeed or your Facebook phonebook that includes contact information for any of your Facebook friends who have made their phone numbers available. You can call or send an SMS to any of your friends by clicking on their number in the phonebook. Skype will also include call and SMS links in your newsfeed for any of your friend’s phone numbers you can access. Before you press that call button, keep in mind that voice calls to landlines, mobile devices and SMS messages on Skype are not free.

The newsfeed in Skype includes a text-entry box to update your Facebook status. You can also make your Facebook status update your Skype mood status or vice versa. Your Facebook newsfeed in Skype will only let you add text updates or links; advanced features such as attaching video links with a screenshot, posting photos, videos or creating events from the status update bar are not present.

In my tests, it appeared that Skype only has limited access to your newsfeed that primarily includes activity from Facebook Pages you follow and your friends’ status updates. Other notifications such as photo comments or your friends’ recent “likes” didn’t show up. Clicking “Older posts” at the bottom of the newsfeed in Skype will launch your browser and send you to Facebook’s website.
