Re: Skype
..and to add to that thought, w/WhatsApp bringing on "live interaction" Skype will eventually dissipate..no question.
Fascinating to be witness to it all on the eve of another Quarter.....

Re: Skype
Agreed. It's something that served a purpose, but now the technology has become a default feature on so many devices, it's redundant.

Re: Skype
Agreed.
I mean as we move through a period of digital transformation and the new advances in the world I, personally, think Skype will become a thing of the past.

Re: Skype
Exactly!
And it's my opinion that people would just rather use their phone than go on a laptop or desktop. Consumers are always wanting things quick and right away. As do I. So it makes sense to just pull out your phone and facetime with someone rather than go on Skype.
Re: Skype
Skype is often used as a pseudonymous option for voice chat, so there's that.
Re: Skype
@dlr: I think it's different strokes for different folks. My girlfriend is all about her phone -- using it for almost everything (although preferring to break out her laptop when she wants to look at things on a bigger sccreen, such as pictures of food for recipes). I, on the other hand, prefer to use my phone strictly on an "on-the-go" basis -- and much prefer having the bigger screen, enhanced functionality, and bigger keyboard that a laptop or desktop offers.
Plus, gaming is entirely different between the two types of devices. ;)
Re: Skype
@dlr: Skype has a mobile app/mobile functionality, too. Were you aware, or do you not like the app for some reason?
Re: Skype
@dhr5288:
I agree that face time has now become very popular for conversations. But i still think there are folks that use skype too. Face Time is only possible in smart phones and devices whereas skype could be leveraged in any desktops and laptops. The use of Skype could be diminishing in western countries. But it may stay alive at other geographies.
Re: Skype
Absolutely, it also has a lot to do with personal choice. If someone is very adaptable with new stuff they would just pass on skype like things. Whereas on the other hand people that gnereally struggle to step out of their comfort zone, would love to continue with their favourites like Skype. :)
Re: How does Skype even work now?
I can relate 100% as the things that you listed all apply at my work place as well - totally 100%.
