Skype just released its latest version and it rocks! It finally includes many of the key features that I have been waiting for including:
- Skype video: I first saw this demo when I was at the Skype office last June before we (eBay) purchased Skype. Their video is far better than video from any other app!
- Groups: You can now group your contacts
- Personalization: Personalization will be very important especially as Skype goes into mobile. You can also set your mood so you know what your friends / contacts are feeling like before reaching out to them.
Well, give it a try and I hope to talk to you and see you soon!
Finally - you can group your contacts. That's immensely useful.
I wonder if they'll ever sort out the patent issue so they can include the "user is typing" feature in the IM client.
The video function is so slow and I don't think it's any better then other chatting tools like msn.
They should focus on phone but their phone still running on non-standart protocol and no way to develop.
