I need to interview people that either shop or sell stuff on Amazon for a homework. It will be a 10-15 min via facetime/zoom/skype, and I will pay you $15 worth on an Amazon gift card. Please help me out!

@WardaDave @calphonso Problem is how many. Denmark solved the class size problem with Skype but only 12 were in class and 12 on remote - not home. Requires a teacher centered approach but that's not the end of the world. The remote kids just watch though and get a handout. They are in class nxt day.

@mujnaqvi @villi How Hotmail and Skype are successful acquisitions? Where are Skype and Hotmail now? MSFT never had consumer service that worked well (or at least well enough considering MSFT size)

@LottieJohn1 @ItisJudge First there was a spark. Then a flame. Then a fire. Then a bonfire. Then (big gap) a lightbulb. Then TV. Then videoconferencing with issues. Then Skype. Then video for everyone. Then chaos. Tech is a beautifully dangerous companion thrust upon the unweary traveller. #hipcounsel

@SkypeSupport Sorry I’ve been so snarky, I feel like the choice to use GUIDs was a really smart way to avoid this problem and it was a good idea, I’m just not looking forward to going through the process of deleting my account and putting it all back together in a new one.

I used Skype this past week for the first time in forever, after a 2020 filled with Zoom, and GOOD LORD is Skype a hunk of utter shite. It’s a massive resource hog, both of system resources and bandwidth (I shut down background processes, apps, and cut off access to my wifi)

@BSNLCorporate @CMDBSNL Going for BSNL fibre internet: anyone out there don't go for it, it has frequent request timeout issue, latency is bad. If you are working remotely or into multiplayer gaming don't go for it. U can't do a proper Skype call with a 15mbos plan.

@JRubinBlogger @tribelaw What find interesting is the BIG Hoover poster the guy has partially visible in the shot from his Skype camera! He’s claiming affiliation without having to say a word! Stanford may have to sue him or at least issue a ‘cease and desist’!

@JeremyVineOn5 When I was 18 I was 200ft beneath the Atlantic ocean on a hunter killer submarine...I didn’t see my family and friends for five months...yes, including Xmas and New Year. Get over it...one Christmas away no problem you’ve got zoom, skype, facetime...we didn’t even have phones!

If the crocodile will be real, these steps will help. Step 1 - Paid\Free VPN Step 2 - Skype Phone number Step 3 - Bind the numbers to your social accounts and your mail if possible @EndSarsResponse could this be advisable for those who want to be actively involved online?

@elenadice1976 @dementia_physio Yes! When my late dad went into his care home his main requests were a TV to watch the news, WiFi so he could Skype his grandson, and the @FT delivered every day. One of the very last things he did (with help from me) was put a cross on his postal ballot paper.
