I want to say thanks to the Skype PR team for saving me some time. You see, Skype 4.0 looks like a fine piece of software. And it looks like I won’t need to attend the press and blogger event tomorrow at noon. My invitation to “learn about the future of Skype” is tomorrow, June 18, at 12:00 noon. Apparently, everyone else I know was invited to the cocktail reception before the party, and that’s where the news happened. Embargo, for those in the know, was lifted at 4PM PDT today.
So, from one busy CEO to another, thanks Josh Silverman. You saved me an hour out of my day, plus the effort of writing a review.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

I join you Alec. I was waiting for the call but it becomes useless now. Bad PR.
b.o.o.h.o.o.
you didn't get a call because you're a nobody
And that makes you an anonymous chickenshit nobody… right?
