I saw this post on one of the Skype Blogs and thought it was pretty cool idea where you add some images on your blog entries that would allow people to call you or leave voice mail directly from your website post. Interesting idea to say the least. [Skype]

Unlimited domestic calls $2.99
Posted by geeknews at 10:16 AM on December 8, 2005Sound like an advertisement for some fly by night telephone company. Seems it’s not just some company but Yahoo trying to kick Skype’s teeth in. The drawback is you have to use Yahoo messenger. I’ll be honest I have not loaded Yahoo Messenger in about 3 years. I only use Trillian and I’ll be honest I have used Google Talk and other chat applications and Skype so far has just simply worked and that goes a long way in my books, look forward to seeing how it performs.

Skype Video do we really care about Video calls?
Posted by geeknews at 10:53 AM on December 1, 2005While I really love Skype and use it daily, I am not so sure I am that big of a fan of video calls. Do we really need to see the person on the other end. Most of the people that we would use the Skype video feature with live in a part of the US that has no broadband. I am not so sure it is that big of a deal. One thing I will be watching out for is how much of a performance hog it becomes. [Skype]
Skype has some Bugs folks!
Posted by geeknews at 1:22 PM on October 25, 2005It appears Skype has some security bugs folks and I would rank them in the fairly severe category. Skype has issued patches for some of the critical bugs so you will want to head over to Skype and either download a new install of utiliz the patch that they have put together. [The Register]
2.6 Billion eBay pays for Skype
Posted by geeknews at 10:05 AM on September 12, 2005That’s just a shocking amount of money. I am sure eBay knows what their doing. One thing for sure it will be real easy to pay your Skype bill with Paypal seeing eBay own Paypal. I must admit though I use Skype for about 50% of my calls now. The thing is these are all Skype to Skype calls which are free. I have had 8.93 Euros of Skype Out credits for months. I simply do not use Skype Out. Time will tell if it is a good investment.

I need a contact at Skype Billing!
Posted by geeknews at 4:06 AM on September 5, 2005I want to start flowing money into some Skype accounts directly from our fund raising, but need to spread it around. I want to be able to buy Skype Out credits for accounts without actually having to transfer the money a second time.
I need someone with a personal contact at Skype to have them contact me immediately via e-mail and provide a way I can reach them directly.

Yahoo buys dialpad!
Posted by geeknews at 5:26 PM on June 14, 2005Rumors last leek led to speculation that Skype was being purchased by Yahoo, today it was announced that Yahoo purchased dialpad a relative unknown VOIP service. I am hopeful that Skype will not be purchased by Yahoo. Considering all of the quality employee’s they have sucked out of Redmond recently the rumor last week did not make sense. [Yahoo]
