DISQUS

Tech IT Easy: With Skype, I can now talk to myself. and mom.

    Your insanely spontaneous post aside, it is a great feature to have the ability to use the same Skype username on multiple PCs at the same time. Just imagine the startup or SME, which uniquely communicates via Skype, using the same username. I often call remote countries, using my boss's Skype name, logged in as invisible, while he also uses it (though not, I think at the same time).

    It's also very annoying to get MSN messenger et al telling that you can't log in, because you're logged into a different computer, or to have that other computer be logged out when you log in. Multi-Skype: bring it on!

    I think the latest version of MSN... sorry, Live Messenger allows for multiple logins. Anyway, that's a bit irrelevant these days.

    Multiple logins are good, but they way the work vary. I think Live messenger just broadcasts all messages to all logged in clients, where as Google Talk/XMPP clients send initial message to all or to the one with the highest priority. I've no idea how Skype works in this regard, though.

    Skype broadcasts the same message across different computers. Did you not read G.'s post at all? :-)

    Damn flu. Can't comprehend a thing.

    Is posting that twice some kind of a meta-joke? =)

    It is now. When I originally replied, I did so via mail, and when the update wasn't instantaneous, I also replied here.

    You see ? It is confusing even on asychronous mode... :)
    Imagine a chat-meeting through this "facility", who? said what? when? basta! Give me a workgroup, structure this a bit (Company, business unit,...) and I'll be happy.
    Not to step into compliance issues because we will be freaking out even more than I did.

    Guys, please the whole point was "Help the Aged" but I guess I shall have Jarvis Cocker to convince you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMN_gOBmthM , or another post...
    Kari get well soon "περαστικα"
