Gizmo: One more advantage — slow connection performance
In: Skype|Software|Technology|VoIP
25 Jun 2007This morning, I noticed that Gizmo has one more advantage over Skype: substantially better performance over slower/less optimal WiFi connections. Skype is slowly getting the can from me. Sorry kids. Spread the Love:

Skype: Monetization, or Escaping the trap of 1999
In: Skype
14 Dec 2006Around the blogs, there are a number of folks talking about Skype making people pay for SkypeOut calls. Guess what? Everywhere else in the world, you have always had to do this. So I don’t understand what the problem is. I know that the QoS will improve on SkypeOut once the feeloaders are gone. Free [...]

In: Life|Skype|Technology
13 Dec 2006Ok Skype hounds, this is is. Skype, in a move to get us North Americans (sorry Mexico) to use more Skype, is offering us unlimited calling to Canadian and American numbers (landlines and mobile) for all of 2007 for the ridiculously low price of $14.95 (offer valid until January 31, 2007). Get it! Like you [...]
WordPress.com: BUILD A SKYPE WIDGET!
7 Dec 2006I do not want to host my own blog. Even if I wanted to, WordPress.com does not make it easy to export content. This, however, is a separate discussion. Skype and Web 2.0 (I hate the term, but I am using it) are inextricably linked. WordPress and Web 2.0 are inextricably linked. WordPress.com hates Skype. [...]

Skype: FIX THE VOICEMAIL PROBLEM!
4 Dec 2006Dear Skype: I love the software. I am using it more for personal and work calls. But I need to know when I have a voicemail. Now, not 24 hours from now. I know you know about the problem. But it’s been over a month. I assume the voicemail notification wasn’t a problem before. So [...]

Skype: One month left….
27 Nov 2006Here in North America, we have a little over a month left in our free Skype-2-North America phone service. (here) I’m addicted.

Skype, Skype, Skype, Skype…OH! Wonderful Skype!
In: Life|Skype|Technology|Work|smp
20 Nov 2006Over the next 12-18 months, my plan is to move to working from home more. Like, 100% of the time, when I’m not travelling. To help accomplish this, and to free myself from the servitude to the Telcos, I have started to migrate almost exclusively to Skype for my work communication. In this area, I [...]
London: Skype Rocks!
In: Life|Skype|Software|Technology
13 May 2006I just had a friendly chat with the American Express Account Security group. My card got flagged for unusual activity (“Why are charges from London appearing?”), and they sent me an e-mail. I fired up Skype, called the US toll-free number and dealt with it in 2 minutes. Have I mentioned that Skype rocks? Technorati [...]
