This script sets the same status message you have in iChat in Skype too. This script came about when I grew tired of being able to choose between different status messages in iChat but to get the same messsage in Skype
 I had to type it by hand.  This script can be run in several ways: you could activate the Script-menu and have it available for choosing there, you could make an application from the script and put in the dock, next to you Skype icon. Do you have to many items there you could throw away the Skype icon and make an app from a script that also starts Skype first, then gets the Status from iChat, and sets it in Skype.

This script gets the statusmessage from iChat and sets the same status message in Skype. BTW, only people in your contact list can see your status message (aka mood message).

More stuff you can play around with in Skype here:

end tell

-- Set the same status in Skype
