Skype Journal: Managing Skype Contacts at Work & at Home

July 5, 2005 03:04 PM

This is from Emiliano Morgia in Genoa, Italy. Thanks Emiliano!!

At work he has a Windows Machine (I guess to maximize productivity) and at home a MAC (I guess to maximize his entertainment. He uses the same Skype ID on each (emilianomorgia). All his personal friends are "blocked" on his Windows 4 Work machine and all his business contacts are "blocked" on his MAC 4 Home machine.

Works like a charm.

At work I use the same picture as at home but with the text "...(name)@work" (Power Point creations saved as JPG).
Friends know they can't contact me untill it shows the picture without text.

That's a smart share! Add to it a bookmarked multi-chat and you could even notify people @work or @play... and use for each different group. Not everyone will like it.. but after the first time they could leave the chat and you have made your point.. and set the norms for your buddies both at work and @home etc.
