Aliases: A Thing I Really Want from Skype for Business
Aliases (Multiple Skype Names per Skype Account).
Multiple custom profiles per Skype user account.
I need one for my external customers, another for my team, another for external suppliers and partners. Also, my boss doesn't need to know I'm GorgonTheDestroyer in Warcraft, my clan doesn't need to know I collect taxes for HMRC.
Each alias should have its own profile, presence, permissions, history.
My account should give me a view of all of my aliases.
My account should come with two default aliases: @work, @life.
Let me log in once and present myself well in each context.

YES YES YES!!!
I really hope Skype is listening on this one.
And if they won't do this, the ability to group contacts and be selectively invisible to some would do it: I don't mind talking to my friends when I've had a drink but I really don't want my American clients phoning me at midnight Friday. ;-)
yes. want. need.
