The company, Skype, which is filing for an IPO, announced the release of Skype 5.0 for windows that integrates Facebook News Feed and Phonebook with it. Logging into your Facebook Connect, you will be able to see your regular News Feed and post status updates that can be synced with your Skype mood message. You can call and SMS your Facebook friends on their mobile phones and landlines. Additionally, you will be able to make a free Skype-to-Skype call if your Facebook friend is also a Skype contact. By default, your profile picture will only be visible to your contacts. It will not show in search results when other people try to find you in Skype.
