Wow first time I've been called a "Skype Head" and now I have my very own technorati tag. Thanks to Stowe who again confronts the which IM sytems should I be on challenge from a Mac users perspective. He asks if there's "An End In Skype"?
.....one outcome of that battle is likely to be consolidation of the fragmented instant messaging world. If and when someone wins that battle I believe it will be like Betamax/VHS, and the standard will become ubiquitous. It's early to call a winner, but Microsoft's flabby innovation these days when contrasted with iPod's market dominance in digital music makes me nod toward Apple. And if Skype wins big as a result, thats cool with me. I just want one buddylist, and if the government isn't going to force interoperability, like they should, then I am rooting for an instant messaging monopoly. And please, God, don't let it be Microsoft. Corante > Get Real >
Good post which highlights that we need the Mac SkypeAPI quickly. Plus I just learned I need to create some new tags for some special people. PhilWolff, BillCampbell, MartinGeddes, DinaMehta. We've been experimenting with Tags on the back end of this blog. I'll see how this goes.
