Re: Skype
Great article, it's unfortunate that it took Skype six years to realize the TV app was a failure. I wasn't aware they offered a TV app either. I have a Skype account and never received any advertisements about the TV app.

Re: Skype
@freehe Do you get other ads about Skype services? I don't think I do unless I log on, which I don't do very frequently at all.

Re: How does Skype even work now?
@mhhf1ve. Hmmmm. Even someone like Apple maybe? Or MSFT for that matter. Why not harness Siri or Cortanas technology for use in a full fledged add-in? I tried to integrate Nuance several times into our environment and gave up. More trouble than it was worth. People weren't willing put in the time to train the app properly
Re: Skype
We actually use the app, but through a gaming system, so I'm not sure if that will go away or not. We like the TV option, because it allows family to see us and our dogs (I have young nephews) :)

Re: How does Skype even work now?
I would argue we're already here--The testing I did on Google Doc was really impressive and was leaps and bounds beyond Nuance.
Fascinating times--no question....

Re: How does Skype even work now?
@mpouraryan - I personally am not familiar with this functionality in Google Doc - could you elaborate? Does it have a name? My firm blocks all of the Google products as they've been deemed a security risk by our auditors - so I can't see it first hand at the moment...

Re: Skype
I also never heard of such a thing either, but this doesn't surprise me, given that people aren't even using their TV for TV watching these days with the advent of Hulu, Netflix and the like...
