Skype 2.0 Adds Video
Golygydd Max writes "Skype is showing that there's life after the eBay purchase. Techworld reports that the company has just launched the beta of Skype 2.0, having added video to its telecommunication software. The company is already lagging behind the likes of AOL and MSN in offering this, but Skype must be hoping that the size of its user base will help it - its store is to start selling videocams almost immediately." The LA Times has a review from a 2.0 beta tester, if you're interested in a hands-on look.
Seriously, the only people who are into video calls have one hand on their hammer, the other on the keyboard. There are relatively few people who have the bandwidth to make a half decent video conference. Granted that will change.
Cool, skype cams in young swedish blond's bedrooms!
I can't wait till skype approaches the depths of depravity that every other camera enabled conf system resides in.
Is it just me or is the net only used for pron?
Hmm, nope it's not just me, the net is in fact the largest pron distribution machine in the world.
"the internet is going very slow"
Seriously, man, didn't you get the email about the internet cleaning days?
"The dew has clearly fallen with a particularly sickening thud this morning"
... I can see the face of the person that's calling me at 4:00am in the morning from Egypt... just to see the expression on their face as they see I'm not a horney little girl but instead an angry half naked hairey man.
