Source Calls Skype Post "Dumb"; Says Co "Turning Profitable"
Got a frustrated note from a source who had several interesting things to say about Skype...in response to yesterday's post (in which I questioned two new product announcements and the company's future).
The most interesting point? Skype is "turning profitable." The source is in a position to know, but if anyone else can confirm this, I'd be grateful.
The source also had this to say about Skype Find, the new service that allows you to post and access local restaurant/product reviews:
Maybe reviews haven't got so popular cause no one has done it right. As far as I'm concerned I don't care about someone in the midwest's opinion. I care about what my friends and personal relatives have for best places to shop and eat. So now that skype provides this I can get rid of all the crap content and trust my friends.
I'm still skeptical of the new products, especially of the monetize-yourself expert marketplace (SkypePrime), but I'll keep an open mind.
I am setting myself up as a legal expert on SkypePrime, as I have spent 15 years watching Law and Order and feel I qualify as an expert.
