All Things Digital is reporting that Facebook and Skype are soon planning to announce a partnership that would include Facebook Connect in Skype to text message, voice call, and video call friends on Facebook from Skype. The service would supposedly be available in Skype 5.0. Currently, 5.0 is in beta for Windows and available for download at skype.com, but Facebook Connect isn't expected until the final, stable release.

Skype currently has about 124 million active users and Facebook's 500 million active users could really give Skype a well-deserved boost. Skype 5.0 is supposed to be out of beta in just a few weeks so hopefully we'll see some other features along with this one at its launch.
