Phil adds to the Skype meme below with additional “wants” that I’ve also been mulling over. It lead me to a few more to start the week.
1. Auto – Info Profile: For eveyone not on my buddy list each incoming call should automatically open their profile. I may also want to specify that for all profiles filled with less than x-details Eg: First Name / Last Name, location etc.. to notify sender that I don’t accept calls that don’t match this criteria without ringing me.
2. Profile / Photo Fix. I’d like to insure I see photos of friends on my buddy list when they call. They could be incorporated into the directory as well. I’d like to insure that all others photo’s are optional “view photo” when the info advice is received. Concern will grow about offensive photos.
3. Call Message Integration: For those I’m calling who are not on my buddy list I’d suggest a two-click calling option. This would enable me to send a short personalized message with my profile when placing the call. For example providing a business reason for the call.
4. Timestamp: I need timezones in my buddylist and a current time for caller in their info file. This may be further enhanced with some form of “politeness” time management system.
5. GeoUrl: Adding where we are in the world might tie-to timestamps. However even more specific tie-ins may enhance the opportunities for social networking. Some WiFi applications are already experimenting in this area. With time I’m sure “online” Skype users within X area may prove interesting.
From a klog apart
I’ve already found the functionality of “tools” – “send contacts” to be very useful. I’m wondering if I can upload my picture file to Blogrolling or Technorati with an integrated Skype callto link?
