Skype's next move

Offices and cellphones?

Mister Wong and me

While trying to fight with the WordPress blog settings - this is the newest entry in my always expanding media empire, and will share more about this soon - I discovered Mister Wong. What it is the connection: as I am trying to build a blog hosted by a German website, this Mister was recommended as a link to be used for sharing the latest updates. By curiosity, went on Google for a complex search and was happy to get in touch with the German site for social bookmarking. You can save all your favorite websites to your personal account and share it with other people from your network. The site is a direct competitor to del.icio.us and have the advantage of focusing exclusively on the German speaking realm. Recently, there were launched versions in Russian and Chinese. Equally, you can benefit of mobile support, accessing your account and saving your links of interest directly from your cellphone.

You can connect via icq, Skype, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, to access a FreeDigital Library. As privacy is a permanent matter of concern in Germany, the site is offering you the possibility to chose if you want to have your profile private or/and public. Also, you can access a Free Digital Library.

I am wondering if it is any similar website in French - as my blog I will start soon - when WordPress will be kind enough to share its secrets with me?

Facebook+Skype-Love

The Skype platform will be incorporated to Facebook, allowing users to have real-time dialogues and conversations. I don't know yet how it is possible to have a selective choice of your Skype details: maybe you don't want to share all the information with all your Facebook friends? Or you want to use it without being bothered with various unwanted calls.

I discovered yesterday the last version of Microsoft Windows Live, newly launched and a bit controversial in terms of security. As a simple user, I discovered elements allowing a better organization of the contacts, the introduction of the video messages and the possibility to select your conversations. I will try to find and test more features over the week-end.

Google Voice for writers

In many respects, Skype failed to turn into the must-have for businesses, being rather used mostly for person-on-person communications/or, in some cases, for a lot of spams of various kinds. Now, Google is challenging a bit the market with Google Voice in a very multifunctional way (the demo is a very good mix between description and creativity). In fact, I am more and more convinced that practical insights and creative thinking are more and more indispensable for our professional success, either we are exclusively business-oriented or with a humanist/not necessarily for profit profile. Starting and restarting again, some of the main treats of our world.
