Skype Journal: Putting Skype Tags to Work

February 21, 2006 09:47 PM

I wanted to make use of Skype Tags and Icons to add new contact functionality to Skype Journal. I'm almost certain we are now the first public blog in the world to make more extensive use of thes icons. As part of the effort I've been hacking around Skype Journal's templates. It's not complete and anyone that wants to provide graphic / layout support would be welcomed with a huge smile. It is time we upgraded. Plus the MT platform we are on has also developed new features and opportunities.

skypetagstoblog.pngAs the image shows we have extended our use of Skype buttons beyond presence (online offline etc.) to include a "Chat" button, "Voice Message" and "Skype Profile". There are other options --- for example the "Call Button" however most of us prefer the text message first. The voice messaging function is perfect for those that want to leave a question. Luckily Skype will cut you off at ten minutes.

To see them all, click here. Or here at the permalink to this post.

I'll point out more solutions for tags and present the code in the next few days. They are now at the point where new options for bloggers and online communities are emerging.

Why want to be actually never called the skype user. At least 80% write always into their profiles write down me only? What do all find so badly to it with other humans to talk?
