Fring’s Popularity BackF(i)ring

Fring’s Popularity BackF(i)ring

By Zoli Erdos on July 10, 2010

Hooray, iPhone users can now make video calls on 3G, even to other platforms, say Skype, but using the popular Fring app.  Or not… The new option proved to be too popular, overwhelming Fring’s servers.   This morning Fring announced suspension of support for Skype. The biggest losers are Android users on all carriers but Verizon, […]

FacePalm

FacePalm

By Guest Authors on June 8, 2010

The future is here according to Steve Jobs. Maybe he should tell Pixar to make “Back to the Future 4″ cause there sure were a lot of “time travellers” who tried video-calling five years ago. Video calling is fun. Once. Then you never use it again. I’m surprised Apple is pushing FaceTime the way they […]

Is WebEx “Dead Man Walking?”

By Mark Suster on May 24, 2010

This week I was preparing for my weekly This Week in Venture Capital web show and was researching some of the deals that were announced for the week.  One of the companies that just announced $10 million in funding was a company I had never heard of called Huddle.  I wanted to look at what […]

As Twitter Takes Over IM, We Need Clients with Friendly Nicknames

As Twitter Takes Over IM, We Need Clients with Friendly Nicknames

By Zoli Erdos on March 30, 2010

It used to be Yahoo, MSN or AOL chat. Then Skype took over – it is my default IM system now, despite it’s obvious flaws. But nowadays the fastest way to reach most of my contacts is DM on Twitter.  That is if I can remember their Twitter account names. While @firstnamelastname has become a […]

Clouds Are Calling Traditional Voice Vendors

Clouds Are Calling Traditional Voice Vendors

By Dave Michels on December 2, 2009

  The cloud is transforming enterprise computing, but not so much for voice processing. Over the past decade, enterprise voice systems migrated under the general IT umbrella, and CIOs are looking hard at cloud computing. There are several factors that suggest voice is a perfect fit for cloud computing. However, there is one sticky point. […]

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

By Zoli Erdos on October 15, 2009

Nowadays the only context we hear about Skype is the legal fight (care to bet how long it will take for the previous Net Celebs to become the Hated Greedy Ones who try to sc**w all of us?) – I would much rather read about new features, improvements. After all, Skype is the single most […]

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions

By Zoli Erdos on October 1, 2008

First, kudos to Skype – for listening to customers, many of whom considered the first Skype 4.0 beta’s full-screen a deal-breaker.  Yes, they listened and gave us a compact view, somewhat similar to good old 3.x, which is why I installed it in the first place, but after an hour or so I am ready […]

By Ben Kepes on September 30, 2008

Here on CloudAve we're pretty heavy Skype users – it really helps running an internationally dispersed team and for evangelists like us it helps that it lives in the ether! Skype has announced that tomorrow the Beta 2 release of Skype 4.0 will be available. Some specific changes from the Beta 1 release include; user […]
