I like to check the trackbacks to my articles and, lo and behold, Skype has a blog. How do I know this?
Because their writer/blogger summarized my article “Hype for Skype“.
Um. Hi, Skype. So…come here often? How ’bout those [insert sports team here]? No? You don’t want to make small talk? Erm. Ok. Well, I guess you heard. About how I feel. About you.
Yes. Yes, it’s true. I love you. I love you.
No, no, I couldn’t possibly accept free US/Canada service for a whole year. I’m sorry, Skype, but my love’s not for sale. Just be you. Wonderful, glorious, beautiful you. And I’ll be happy. I’m in it for the long-haul. You didn’t make sign my soul over to you for two years, but – believe me – I am committed to you. I am still yours. Completely.
Hush now. Don’t say a word. Your summary contained all I needed to know. And Skype? If you want…well, you can come back again…sometime.

Poor, poor insecure dolts.
What do you see in your imagination when you “see” thuis person from Skype? Man/woman? Glasses? Pocket protector? Or some guy/gal in firmly pressed business attire in a ergonomically enhanced pristine office space? lol
hayden tompkins says:
I don’t know, but Howard looks very serious. I sure hope he enjoys his job!
I don’t know if I’d call them insecure dolts (remember, I love them now!), I think it’s kind of cool that they pay attention to what people say online. I can think of a million companies who just don’t care.
[Hear that, Skype?! I am singing your praises! Because I care. Hold me.]

… they quoted me too. *grins just a bit*
and that is an excellent question from M54. There’s a picture next to the title, but it doesn’t seem to match the person’s name. you really never know, do you?
hayden tompkins says:
Guys, why are you trying to make Howard sad?! Don’t listen to ‘em Howie Muffin, you and I know what the real deal is. At least I know there is one other person out there who shares my passionate, unadulterated love for Skype.
But, Howie, listen. Don’t hurt my beloved Skype, ok? Skype is my digital sun, the internet moon of my WordPress regard. I know that, since we share this passion, that you would never let my beloved Skype down.
And Howie muffin? Don’t listen to the heathens. You and I have each other…

Perhaps its only an Africa thing or on international calls but we get static and buzzing… maybe it is just Mugabe throwing another tantrum causing all things to go wonky *shrug*
