Re: Skype
The one thing I've used skype for is podcasts.

For some reason that seems to a common application to use for podcasts with people at multiple locations.  I'm not sure if it's the ease of adding & dropping participants (not sure why it would be any stronger than google hangouts) or if it has more robust options available for recording (or maybe has a standard plug-in for some of the more popular podcasting software.

Re: How does Skype even work now?
I think the changes in costs for mobile phone plans, the inclusion of facetime and even facebook offering a voice "calling" option with IM have significantly changed the market too.


Skype's been around since the first VOIP options became available for consumers - I remember it being incredibly popular with friends who wanted to communicate with people outside the US - but this was back before myspace and facebook. We have so many different ways to stay connected now, relying on a skype call seems almost antiquated! :-)

Consumers
I understand Skype's decision to no longer use the Smart TV App. I get that they are trying to move forward and see what the consumers are using and for the most part it's iPhones.

However, I do also think that for the consumers that do use the Smart TV App this is a huge blow. I think that Skype should keep as many doors open for consumers as possible, unless there's not enough money there.

skypes plug pull
I don't think it is a good idea and I also noticed on Skype you can't do the chat message on the library computer soI don't know why that is. I think they should keep as many options and business ventures as they can.

Re: How does Skype even work now?
The question, though, is how to make sure that the human touch is never forgotten.  That's the key driving force all of us have to concern ourselves with.   It seems to be "lost" in the shuffle as we see the rise of Artificial Intelligence and other advents in tech advancement.

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...

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: 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....
