The contact information page in the iOS 5 address book has a field not just for Twitter, but also offers space to add friends’ handles on Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn and Myspace. Alongside a person’s email address and phone number, an iOS user can also add links to their accounts around the Web. Then Apple auto-populates the URL for each of the services.

According to All Things Digital, Facebook and Skype will soon announce a significant and wide-ranging partnership that will include integration of SMS, voice chat and Facebook Connect. This will surely make Skype iPhone app more powerful with Facebook contact list appearing on Skype contact list as well. Might happen with Skype version 5.0 for iPhone. And Facebook’s goal is to mesh communications and community more tightly together and add more tools to allow users to do so.

The move by the pair–which have tested small contact importer integrations before–is a natural one for the social networking giant, which is aiming to be the central communications and messaging platform for its users, across a range of media. Since it was not going to create an Internet telephony service of its own–kind of like not creating a mobile operating system–Facebook has apparently turned to the Web’s Internet telephony leader.

Check out this screenshot. This will be available in Skype’s newest version, 5.0, which will emerge from beta in few weeks from now:
