New Skype Developer Blog

July 14, 2005 04:28 PM

Topics: Skype News

Refreshing change from Skype. A new blog for the Developer Zone.

Current topics are:

What's in a name? Lenn stole this lead from me. (Smile) Bottom line,

"This means any product which contains the word Skype as part of the product name is in violation of the terms and should be corrected immediately. Skype does and will continue to monitor compliance with these terms."

Thus the story behind Video4Skype and vSkype.

API Development Updates Not a Road Map, but it is the best document yet for a short term look at where the API is heading. The big ones for me:

  • Application to Application Messaging
  • Web Presence API
  • Extensible profiles

  • Keep up the good work Lenn!

    Application to Application Messaging will be a killer API function, if it means that applications can directly communicate with each other via the skype communication network-the Skypenet.

    Plusing global index search and presence of the plug-in application or service, app2app transforms the p2p into presence-to-prensence, which is not only about buddies but also about applications and services. Imagine something exciting based on this, such as a serverless CS-like on-line game and a new marketplace for auctions and e-retailing.

    There are a lot of companies out there that spend a huge amount of money implementing middleware such as WebMethods, Tibco, Vantive, etc
    Performance and manageability aside, did it just become free?
