Stop Press

Facebook and Skype have announced a tie up which will make it far easier to talk and chat through the social network.

This has been rumoured for some time and the new version of Skype for Windows will include a Facebook tab.

So when you upgrade to Skype 5.0 for Windows you will be able to sign in using Facebook Connect and use voice chat, SMS, make status updates, like and comment on Facebook posts from within the Skype desktop client.
