Skype Journal: Looking for the Skype Buddies World Record Holder
March 30, 2006 11:22 AMI'm looking for the Skype world record holder. The person that has amassed the most Skype buddies on his buddylist. I know of one person that has more than 1000 and more than a few with 300 to 500. However I'm looking for you if you have more than 1000. I'd like to hear your stories about your buddylist and how it came into being. I'm not looking for a solution that is a "Skype corporate client" eg a client everyone in the company has added as a buddy. I would be interested in any of these "server" applications as a separate category. Thus if anyone has registered more than 1000's of people on a Skype client I want to talk to you too. Sort of the biggest Skype corporate ecosystem. Now who has that?
Why? I bet there are some good stories in it. Separately, I know that this is a core group of exceptional Skype users. The buddylist is long enough to test any new API or Wi-Fi phone that comes along. You have tested Skype in more ways than most people at Skype. I'm also interested in user profiles. I have a little hypothesis that says... Skypers are breaking the rules that existed on other buddylists (orginally most only allowed 100 buddies). There may be no correlation between number of buddies and usage. Still I'm interested to learn more about thresholds. If you have a 1000 buddies and me just over 300... what's the expected impact on time, calls, number of messages etc. In other words I want to know more about your Skype life. Please comment or call me and share. Thanks.
If you hold the world record and don't want publicity please still introduce yourself. I'll respect your privacy. If you want to boast. Leave a comment and a link to your profile. Example skype:stuart_henshall?userinfo
Thanks!
