How to Connect iChat to Skype
Connect iChat to Skype to chat with your iChat contacts who also use Skype on their computers. Skype has a native feature that allows you to "import" contacts from several different sources into your Skype buddy list, including the Apple address book, where iChat automatically stores your contacts. Once the imported contacts have approved you as a buddy on Skype, you’ll be able to communicate with them using Skype.
