Skype Journal: Gadget Show #9 on Skype and VoIP
April 25, 2005 09:34 PMI tend to say yes to new experiments and sharing ideas so podcasting is something I'm both experimenting with and willing to participate in. Richard Giles who hosts the Gadget Show out of Australia roped in James Seng and myself to talk about VoIP and Skype. From a technical point there's more background noise than I think should exist on a recorded show. It starts slow and probably gets better in terms of content. Yes it was done over Skype, the sound quality I've tested in other podcasts is much better.
James tells a nice story of travelling overseas about how VoIP enables him to listen and stay connected to full night and thus hear his baby walking around etc. Reinforcing how it make us think and use it differently.
I commented that you will have to give away the presence software to the individual for free, and provided some examples on Yahoo 360 and the lack of online synchonization with presence and your buddylist. So some points about real-time synchronization.
I had fun talking with these guys about VOIP, Skype and where the technology is headed. In fact, because the subject is so vast, I feel like relabeling this podcast "VOIP 101". The Gadget Show # 9
I expect to say more about new Skypecasting options soon.
