The Skype for Mac beta update finally introduces the same Facebook features and retooled interface first rolled out to Windows beta users nearly one year ago.

Ads have made their way to Skype for Mac, too. Non-paying Skype users will now see ads in the Skype Home view above the activity timeline of Facebook friends and Skype contacts.

Skype for Mac with Facebook has its quirks but given that it doubles as a full-featured Facebook client, the release will likely be welcomed by non-stop social networkers.

Skype, which Microsoft acquired in May, has recently sped up its Mac product development cycle. The company released HD calling and support for Mac OS X Lion in early August.
