I want to love Skype, I really do. I love the UI and the functionality, but there's one big thing that's been buggin me for years now. The extremely weird way Skype handles my contacts. It's one big clusterf*ck of duplicates, Facebook friends and old MSN messenger contacts. I linked my Facebook account to Skype, and when I sort the contact list to Facebook, it kinda looks allright, but calling doesn't work when I try to call these Facebook contacts. Original Skype contacts I CAN call, but they won't show up in my contact list when I sort on Facebook friends.
But when I sort my contact list back to all, it becomes the usual choas, with tons of duplicates and weird names. For example, I'll have my girlfriend as a Facebook contact, a Skype contact and an old Messenger contact. So if I wanted to call her, I'd have to check all three accounts which one she is currently using before calling her. That's hardly efficient.
Can someone who knows more about Skype tell me how to properly use the Skype contact list? And also, isn't there a way to merge contacts? It would take me a while to merge all duplicates, but at least it would give me an option to clean up the mess it is right now.
Thanks!!
