I just downloaded Skype after hearing about it on numerous blogs and podcasts. My user ID is wintermute2_0, in case you want to reach me. I don’t know any Skype users; I’m just trying to keep up with the cool kids. Which reminds me that I still need to track down a Gmail invite. A couple nice people sent me invites over the summer, but I promptly misplaced them. Anyway, maybe I can talk my brother in Germany into using Skype. I want to see how the voice quality compares to a regular telephone line. I’m anxiously waiting for internet telephony to take off. Here are some features I want. I want caller ID to pop up on my computer and television when someone calls. I want to access and manipulate voicemail with my PC. I want 911 service. And I want to be able to make phone calls without having to ask someone else to punch the numbers for me.
Yesterday’s Pioneer Press had an article about Minnesota political blogs (reg. req’d). Toni Coleman, a Humphrey Fellow, wrote the article. In the article, she mentions the blog of Kevin Featherly, another Fellow. We’re like the Freemasons, subtly exerting our influence on the unsuspecting public. There’s even a way-cool secret handshake.
I’m curious if since February, your use of Skype has grown 🙂 and you have even more ideas for how Skype could be better.
I hope the voice mail features we added to Skype so you can select Voice mails on the screen, etc. have addressed at least one of your wishes for less complication communication.
By the way, if you enter the Skype ID : echo123, it can test to make sure everything is working properly.
