Hi Peter
I just have one *tiny* comment. We're fed up with the word "Disruptive". Please could you translate with something a bit more English like "Innovative" or "Leading edge"?
Ta very muchly
Chris

Hello Peter

Trust you'll be bringing us all the hot action from Skype Towers. I suspect you might need to change the bananaphone though, or those lovely chappies from Innovent might be bringing their less nice lawyers round...

Rish

Chris — I'll see what I can do; more on this one after the break.

Rish — Good point. Although I'm sure they don't have a monopoly on bananas. At least I hope they don't.

Welcome Peter - 2 things come immediately to mind

* Get a proper helpdesk sorted out - there is so much noise about people complaining about credits etc that it cannot be doing Skype any good. If Skype want to be a big player then they need to have the ability to react quickly and keep their customers happy. Using a forum and an email to support was okay when they were snall - but paying customers expect more !!

* Sign on once facility - I want to be able to sign on once to visit the forum, leave comments etc etc. I've had to sign on twice - please sort it as its a pain in the bum and cant be that difficult to solve.

Hello Pete,

Looking forward to future posts from Skype Towers. I wonder, is there potential for informal Skype conferences for interested UK posters?

I'm a London-based photographer, working for magazines, ad agencies (not often enough), book publishers and submitting images to on-line agencies. I do wish however I could use Skype with these communities more often but I guess they have IT departments who have their banana systems so well entrenched in company policy, it's difficult to break into (and I don't mean hack).

Cheers,

Richard

I'm a big fan of podcasts and I down a variety each day for listening on the way to work. The daily Guardian Unlimited podcast is interesting as they have a Skype name 'gu-studio' where you can leave comments about their podcasts. One day I left a witty comment about an article and a day or 2 later my message appeared on the Podcast. If only other organisations were as forward thinking as the Guardian!!

Well, Andrew, if you leave me an interesting voicemail - and with your permission, of course - it may just end up on this blog!

I just wanted to add that you're a handsome devil;-)

Good to see Skypers blogging!

Trying to sort a problem. I'm using Opera as my browser in France, is it possible to use Skpe Video ? My daughter in the UK is really keen to do so ! Direct X won't update/run with Opera but I don't want to use Internet Explorer.

Bonne soirée MA

Mike - let's talk about this on Skype!

Hi Pete
i am trying to integrate skype features with my website, where can i download script to add to my site cheers

stevie570 - have a look at these scripts; if they don't do what you want them to do, then give me a phone and I'll do my best to help.

I have found Skype very erratic in sound and picture quality. 3 out of 10 calls skype to phone is unexceptable. It is not the phone, because I pick up the phone , call the same number and it is perfect. ==Until qulity is reliable, skype will remain experimental a best.

This guide has some useful tips - and this one might be useful if you're more technically minded.

I am having a problem with my skype unlimted plan. I cannot make any calls. I reporte the problem and I got no response to yet. I cant even make the free mothers day call

Hello Peter, Is Pablo. I m having some problem with my microphone. When I ring to Spain, they cannot listen very well. I use Skype to call a normal land line in Spain. How could I check that is not a problem of my microphone?

Nothing works- again
I had to uninstall everything, clean up etc ett etc due to error 1603-
Eventually downloaded version 3.1
that installed but of course...still can't connect
,,,,,, 3.5? errrm tested? no...seriously?
not impressed

I am desperatley trying to buy a webcam from the skype shop, I have plenty of funds in my skype account, but each time I try to buy the webcam it keeps telling me that the shopping cart is empty. Can anyone help please.

I have a Vermont (USA) 802 area code Skype-in number. But Vermont numbers don't seem to be offered for purchase any more. Can you tell me why or when they will be offered again?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, what numbers are included in the connection only charges (2.9 pence?) UK calls? 0845? 0871? mobile/cell numbers? std landline numbers begining with 01, 02 etc? are there any exclusions that attract a higher tarrif? Thanks, Albereh

Is it technically possible to offer Skype on an aircraft? In the US it's common to use normal seat-back phones but they're not cheap. Any thoughts on that? You mention Eos and Silverjet who are breaking the mould with their service across the Atlantic and I wonder whether Skype could hook up with an airline and offer Skype in the sky? Or is that just pie in the sky?
