Comment on Skype Kills Extras (and Its Developer Ecosystem)

Comments

That stinks. I rely on Skype + plugins for my remote interviews.

Everyone else from cell phone makers to TVs to Twitter sees value in being a platform. I don't understand why Skype can't make it work.

Maybe it goes back to what Eric Ries told me about his experience with IMVU. He said his product didn't take off until the co stopped making it an IM plugin because most people don't understand what an IM plugin is.
