Would love to talk to someone interested in software. But I'm not a Skype user; haven't used that in 5 years. Not interested in installing it. Wish I could use Teamspace. I helped write it; I use it every day, and its head-and-shoulders a better way to communicate.
While I understand your point of view, both because not everyone is a skype user and because you wrote it. It is a fact that skype is the most used tool for video/audio communication. I would say especially for students. So I think it's a bit unfair to ditch a tool just because it uses the most common way to communicate.
Its because Teamspace is addictive. Going back is crippling. My work team uses Teamspace so I don't have to face this at work. I'm sure not going to volunteer to use Skype again.
