Skype Silence

Skype usage and Facebook traffic down by 5% in one week. People have had enough of constantly being poked and IMd to death.

Having to talk to lots of people in the US, Europe and Oz I couldn't live without skype.

joost live and mac OSX in beta

At long last Joost is out of beta and live. A lot of content is still not great but that's the web for you.
Pier 2 Pier is a really smart move by Joost (The team that bought us Skype)

The more people that watch it the faster the 6 sec clips get passed on. This does mean that I will be addicted to TV again but just while working on photoplop documents.

I have to admire the smooth slick menu design it really is there when you want it and disappears when you start watching. Great that they have released beta for Mac now.

New real time video calling, skype have been left behind on this as theirs is still slow and jumpy.
You can also record video calls to reference back to.
