A new Skype plugin released this week – Skylook – takes Outlook and Skype integration to a new level. In addition to the basic contact integration features provided by existing plugins, Skylook adds some deeper Outlook integration to Skype.

Skylook shows you which of your contacts in on-line in the Outlook toolbar and provides options to review contact details and review previous communications with the contact. Skylook also records all voice calls (as MP3) and text chats to a special Outlook folder.

The idea behind Skylook is that Outlook manages emails very well. You can organize them, search on them, archive them in many ways. Why not provide the same capabilities to Skype conversations?

A free trial of Skylook is available from http://www.skylook.com

It's the fifth bullet you post above that really grabbed me. The ability to click and call from outlook is wonderful and is really what makes this compelling for me personally.

The SOT works like a charm. I like the fact that you don't have to push/click any buttons to initiate a call.

I started using the Skype Outlook Toolbar yesterday and so far it's awesome.
