Today is Skype's third birthday

By My status Jaanus on August 29, 2006 in Life at Skype.

So... today is the real birthday of Skype. Please keep sending us cards and win a prize (competition open until end of this week). We already got quite a few.

Here's a historic shot from that August night three years ago. (The info date on the photo actually shows the 28th of August, not 29th... close enough.) You can see Niklas on the left, with some other original project members. Nothing fancy, just some Chinese place with sticks and soy sauce and unknown drinks on the table. And a little program that lets the whole world talk for free.

I have seen some blog in the net about the same issue (sending faxes through Skype). The link is here: http://freefax.blogspot.com/ . What is interesting is that maybe Skype could take advantage of the similar services that there are now on the net, too, for their users (he, he, "because we like free" as is said in the website, too) : free calls in US, or using various other ways (bridging the calls between paid Skype users and free users and so on). There are a lot of ideas that could be applied for the Skype 4.0 or alike ;P
