Have you been wondering what the impact of Skype might be on Content Center Practice Management. Skype provide both potential opportunities and may also make short term marketing perspectives more difficult to manage. When I bought my new IBM recently I wish I could have just Skyped with the operator. Instead I had to hold [...] Will Skype have an enterprise play? When does it make sense to try it out? If I’m a small professional services company does it make sense to start using it? Examples. PR firms, Patent Attorneys, Systems Developers, Trade Advisors. Any firm with global alliances and a large number of international calls. When to start? Certain [...] Here’s a small request for my readers at SKYPE. What I want is a version of the client that enables me to start playing with Next Generation CallerID. It’s not a big ask. It goes like this. Next Gen Caller ID is where Skypephony really takes off. It’s the point that enables all sorts of [...] There’s a place in the Skype forums for stories. For me even one story a week would make Skyping worthwhile. My latest — I said I was going to Skype with Matt Mower and yesterday we did for over an hour. Think it was 1:00am in England when we finished. Still it was a neat [...] How big is Skype Country? How quickly are the settlers moving in? It is time to start thinking about Skypers like we think about country statistics. Already it is a group too small to ignore. As we approach 2 million downloads and 120000 Skypers online we are looking at an interesting group of people. Let’s [...] The articles on Skype keep rolling in. This one from Slate illustrates the impact that disruptive technologies have on incumbents. It’s better late than never. In the less than two months it’s been available, 1.6 million people have downloaded the software, setting a world record for this kind of thing. As a crude measure [...] I’ve been recognized for evangelism! The need to evangelize Skype to use it, also helped the products success. Also, blogs like Unbound Spiral kept the meme alive and kept pumping new information about the product. Design Media: I’m both pleased and concerned. I’m passionate about the changes that are emerging and frustrated I’m [...] Danah Boyd asks a few questions that Stuart Henshall answers with verve. My own answers to Danah… Danah: I’d really like to understand the excitement of social software enthusiasts. What is it about Skype that motivates you? Skype engages people who believe their ears more than their eyes. Give Skype to someone in [...] Jeff Pulver blogs the Skype story. His view of Skype appears softer less bullish than mine. The overall post focused on the technology, and the length of time “similar” VoIP has been around. However, strip away the extra verbage and this (my bold) is what he says… Skype provides a freely available product that [...] Slashdot is having fun with Sipphone and Skype. I found this quote lost in with the FBI…. “Having run Skype for a while now, it seems to have fairly low latency – on the order of about .4 seconds which is far better in my use, which is far better than the 1.5 – 2 [...] Michael Robertson has the opinion that SIPphone will overrun Skype. I’m not so sure, and maybe it doesn’t matter. What is emerging is the looming battle for putting the phone in your desktop. Plus in all of the scenarios I’ve read so far… the one card that is never mentioned is Video. MR “So Skype [...] Flashtalk is a new “talking instead of typing” application. It’s not Skype and potentially aimed at a different market. I’ve already discarded it unless someone gives me a real good reason to continue. Quickly compared to Skype it doesn’t offer a text chat function, is less intuitive and is a little too e-mail centric re [...] |
