I welcome Skype facebook integration but I didn't like it much..
I upgraded my skype to Skype 5.0 and integrated facebook into skype..
Here are few problem which I have found:
It doesn't automatically refresh the feed
Video links open in browser tab...
More over stop script error which happened to me twice in last 2 hours...
Over all it's good to have facebook on your skype but again, they should make it bug free..
One important feature which I would like to suggest would be:
They have phone book feature that's good but for that we need to have skype credit, facebook should add a column to
enter skype ID, that will make this integration perfect!!

Nice to hear that you tried Skype 5.0 and even found some errors.
In fact,your suggestions are wise and definitely need a highlight. You must have even observe that now the GUI looks more segregated than looking more compact,they should have worked better.Nevertheless they still have a better plans to proceed with. After all people still people Skype these days until they have some better replacement for this giant.
