When browsing the internet, you will find many sites that
provide share buttons to Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, or Pinterest.
But see carefully, there is no share button to Skype, not because it is not
provided but because previously it didn't exist.
The good news is the developer team of Skype has just made
it happen, now this instant messaging and free call service provides a new
option for the website owners to add Skype share button to their websites.
Not much different with the sharing procedures in general,
when the button is clicked it will bring up a new window that asks the users to
log into their Skype accounts. After that, the users can choose the intended
friends in the contacts list, users can also add a short message and then send
it.
Recipients will receive a message that's containing a link
to a page that's distributed and also a short message from the senders.
Skype explains that this share button will allow users to
share certain content to contacts. The process is easy because users don't need
to copy the link and paste it into the message.
In this launch, Skype invites MSN.com to try and share it to
the world. As for the Indian region, Skype entrusts it to the Sify.com.
The Skype share button is claimed to work very well in
desktop and mobile platforms. There are several button styles that can be
chosen by the site owners, this option can be adapted to the design and color
of their sites.

site, you can visit the official page of Skype to get the code.
