RE: Skype? What's the catch?
How about creating a plugin for MSN Messenger to launch a Skype call with the person(s) you are currently messaging?
This would launch Skype if it is not already running and initate a call to the user from inside Messeneger (in the same way that Netmeeting can be launched) - it could even be launched from the 'Activities' tab as seen in MSN Messenger 7 beta. Requests sent to users without Skype installed could be shown a short product description with a download link.
This would be huge !! Skype associates itself with the callto: link on setup. I am not a coder, but from the things everyone has done with Plus which are just amazing, this could be a really heavily downloaded add-in..
I love Skype, it is great and has come a long way, File Transfer now, and apparently adding video etc.. The text part is still way behind MSN but getting better.
Is it Possible ???
