Skype Journal friend Jeremy Hague was featured in Melbourne's The Age about Internet café worklife. A bit from Nick Miller's article:

Hague's two year-old business is called Skylook. It's built around a modest but useful piece of software that, for $50, brings together Skype's free internet telephony and Microsoft's Outlook. Customers all over the world download the software off the net.

It's not a business model that lends itself to an office. Marketing is done via word of mouth, reviews, or Google ads, which are booked and monitored online. There are no sales staff. There is no boardroom. Welcome to Web 2.0, the burgeoning interactive internet economy.

Hague got bored spending all day staring at a computer screen at home. So, gradually, he found the cafes around Melbourne that offered free wi-fi and made them his office.

"I have everything I need right here," he says. "I've got my mobile Skype phone, a Dell laptop. I come here, plug this in and I'm at work. If I have to see a customer or someone in the media, it's pretty cool to meet in a good location without paying $600 a week for a little, shitty office. You just have to drink enough coffee to defuse the guilt."

His company also makes Callburner, a popular Skype call recorder for Microsoft Windows. 

Congratulations on your new baby girl, Jeremy!
