Skype Hype!!!

[ivconic]

I suggest everybody interested to join Skype community. Instead posting sufficient-not technical posts here, we can meet at Skype and exchange fast chats....I am not using cammera, only chat.
So we can establish some specific time in the day for starting chat...How about that?
We can post our Skype identities here so later can easily find each other..
Or...
I have better idea; Carl why dont you extend this forum with chatroom?
Sometimes i need small,fast advice....dont have nervs to wait reply on my posts....Better if i already know at what time i can meet here....let's say Geo,Max,Quiaozhi.....any other....
Further we can have few chatrooms with separate subjects....
It would be great! How about that?


P.S. now i have to wait for your reply....Shheeeeshhh!!!!
If we had chatroom, you would answer at once...
See what i mean!??
Regards!

Hi,
seems a good idea.

My only note about security issues:

if the chat-service will be available to anyone, I suggest using a java-based service with applet-based client inside the forum webpages... much more safe than other clients or programs running on your computer... cause you know hacking attempts are well possible using point-to-point connections by clients... the centralized server will also keep logs of communications and give admin privileges and rules ability...though not totally safe is better than nothing at all.

I'm thinking at some e.g. eShare or NetDive products or the like.

I don't know if is possible having such a thing integrated here in the forum... cause maybe depends on hosting etc but will be useful in many situations... even if members don't share same timezone and the like.

Kind regards,
Max

Still no answer from Carl. Seems a bad idea...?
Integrated chat is more secure. Besides chatroom can be visited only by some members..."guru" or simillars..

Geo type in Google "skype download". Download it and install. Everything else will be clear to you. Once you done this, create your skype account and send me by mail your skype name and time when you are online, so i can conntact you...
regards!

Sorry, didn't see this thread. Are there really enough people for a chatroom? I personally don't use 'em. Also, we tend to be spread out over about 20 time zones. But if enough people want, I'll look into it.

I guess most of members will agree. Only i dont think this thread were seen by everybody yet. Of course, if is not much of doing to add chat here. If it is than forget it.

Skype would probably be useful for the product groups, but that can be arranged on a per-group basis. Very useful when talking to relatives who are on the other side of the world - and much cheaper than a landline or mobile.

Personally I don't like (or use) chat rooms. They're too interrupt-driven.

Usually they are, due masive sojourn. But here on this forum it should be another case.
First, entering chatrooms should be reduced only to group members. Or, to be more democratic - few of chatrooms should be closed for public.Benefits would be great i suppose. There is reisdent need to conntact some person peer to peer due many reasons. Especially when group start to work.


"...we tend to be spread out over about 20 time zones..."
Yes, this appears to be a problem. I am in position to work mostly at night(not because i have to, but night is my favorite time...my brain is clear than),
i dont know about others..anyway i can switch to any time of the day needed...
Anyway....i am not pushing this thing, it was only idea...Not big deal..
Regards!
