Skypememe: Record a call.
Phil Wolff wants Skype calls recording. I'm thinking of using "Skype" to do the same - I'm thinking of using it for interviews... Is there any quick solution before Skype developers come up with this functionality? [Mathemagenic]
So Lilia pointed to Phil Wolff's blog where the latter is gathering ideas for improvement for the now-popular p2p tool Skype.
Phil's way to drive innovation for Skype using the blog and thus gathering ideas from other users and people all around the world is great. It shows again that blogs are an enabler of ad-hoc communities (around Skyping, in this case) - and I would like to add my two cents on this as well. I am missing in Skype:
- To record conversations (Phil mentioned this in his blog, and last week I spoke/skyped about the very same issue with Stuart Henshall) so I can keep them and include them in the blog entries I am writing.
- To have the ability to leave a voicemail if a user is not answering, but is online (if the user is online, I suppose the p2p mechanism does not allow for messages to be dropped on the remote pc anyway)
- Skype needs to be based on an open technology, if not it will limit itself in its development and market share, and end up like many of its predecessors. Take a look at the P2P file sharing market.
- If a user on my list is in conversation (skype~) with someone else, I would like to be able to see that before I call; alternatively the opportunity to switch between calls.
- The technology needs to be more stable - I am having regularly these ones:
