Changes in the Skype ecosystem

Lately I noticed there are small changes going on in the Skype ecosystem. This system, that consists of third party developers and bloggers, is important to Skype. Recently a well known Skype blogger 'Jan in Malaysia' closed his blog for unkown reasons.

I also noticed less traffic (using Alexa) on several Skype related sites and I'm wondering if the BIG h(sk)ype is over.

I'm still a big fan of Skype and the Skype API platform but i must admit that I use SIP for outgoing calls at this moment. Important reason is that in many cases SkypeOut is more expensive. Another reason is that I experienced that SIP has perfect quality too. This came to me as a huge surprise. I never had enough time to look into it but now it seems SIP has really arrived.

SIP has its merits and I'm certainly a fan of it (if it works), but I don't think it has anything to do with voice quality.

AP Top News: 'Jan in Malaysia', has closed his HQ Base in KL and split in into three sections. Reports are that he has relocated to Sri Lanka to work on web 3.0 VOIP programs with Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Jan's Top Secret Research Lab in KL has been split in two and re-located to Diego Garcia http://tinyurl.com/f2gut and the Antarctic McMurdo Research Station

http://tinyurl.com/p5d7m between Sri Lanka, Diego Garcia and McMudro Station. Michael Vincent Hayden issued a press release today. Hayden http://tinyurl.com/f7xgm said' Thank goodness we have Jan now as part of our team. We can now fully deploy our new Web 3.0 decryption/encryption software and hardware systems that Jan and Arthur have been working on for so long. Rebecca Jeschke Media Coordinator for the EFF http://www.eff.org/news/ said, "It is our great regret that would could not raise enough funds to hire Jan & Arthur. Jan has gone over to the other side and our communications are no longer secure from being tapped by the NSA.""We are still not sure who Jan is", said Meg Whitman. "We spent 4 billion on Skype, now we have been out bid by the NSA's deep pockets. This is a sad day for SkypeBay!"
