Skype mood messages and Twitter

If you’re running the beta version of Skype 2.8 for Mac OS X, you can now integrate the new mood message chat with your Twitter account.

It’s very much experimental – it’s just one way, in as much as you can only post your current mood message to Twitter.

Enabling it will need you to be comfortable editing XML files by hand. To get started you’ll need to edit:

~/Library/Application Support/Skype/<username>/config.xml

…and then add the following to areas underneath the UI ยป General nodes:

<TwitterPassword>mypassword</TwitterPassword>
<TwitterUsername>mytwitterusername</TwitterUsername>

You can grab the full details on the Skype Developer Zone.
