According to an official announcement, Skype users on Mac will be able to message and call their Facebook contacts. Additionally, it also features the popular 'News Feed' feature on Facebook right within the Skype application on the desktop. Users will be able to use the 'News Feed' on Skype, just the way they would on Windows - they can read feeds, update their own, comment and/or 'like' the posts of their contacts. ![Now, integrate Facebook into Skype]()
