SkypeIn + Video + Voicemail = WOW !!

Here is a snippet, from a really good interview with Niklas Zennstrom CEO of Skype Technologies., from previous interviews the timetable for these enhancements was July 05, so this is a huge move up in release date if Silvia is correct.

"By this winter, the company plans to roll out more pay features such as voicemail, videoconferencing and SkypeIn, which will let people place calls from a telephone to Skype software users and will allow Skype users to choose a phone number with any country or area code they like - a key advantage to date of VoIP services such as Vonage and AT&T CallVantage. Skype doesn't take its millions of users for granted, employing their suggestions to drive product development and even calling on the most vocal users as beta testers."

I am lucky enough to be one of these beta-testers, I have worked with the Skype staff for over a year now and they are geniuses - and I can't say much except for WOW.... Skype is already a killer app right now, just wait for a few months..

Don't type, Skype - is going to have to be changed to:

Don't Type - pick any form of communication you could possibly want to use to get a hold of me and do that... although that isn't as catchy, maybe I better leave the marketing to the pro's...
