Skypecasts coming to your blog soon
The next version of Skype will enable people to post a link on a blog or Web site that will take people to a public chat room when clicked on, he said during a question-and-answer session during dinner. The live chats would be "Skypecasts", which Zennström described as public conversations or audio conferences that people can moderate. He would not provide a timeline for the features except to say it would be "soon."
Meanwhile, Skype has had conversations with many social-networking sites about offering services that would allow users to "share content with each other in a conversation," he said.
On Wednesday, the company released Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows, which features the community chat capabilities. Also in the release is a Click-to-Call feature, which lets users make calls to ordinary phone numbers when they are online.
