Skype Journal: Minutes are currency; let them flow

July 8, 2005 05:59 PM

There are only 169 shopping days until Christmas. And I want to buy SkypeOut minutes for my family. On a gift card.

I want to give minutes from my account to a friend who has a SkypeOut account.

I want to give minutes from my account to a friend who doesn't have an account.

I want to give minutes from my account to a fund for Tsunami relief workers so they can call home.

I want to see if they've been spent.

Nice if they could send Thank You notes.

I want to give minutes to someone who can use them to buy a SkypeIn number.

I want to be able to turn down minutes.

Yeah.

Hmmm.

I'd like to do it from a client, something I write.

Using an API.

It would have to authenticate me, to start.

It would also let me

create a new account,

get my status and activity reports,

buy minutes,

transfer minutes between me and a friend,

lookup accounts and see if they're open to receive minutes,

display in various currencies, languages

accept bank transfers, paypal transfers, credit/debit card transfers.

Hurry, please.

Only 169 days until Christmas.
