		<description>Greetings all - 

The idea is sound and a natural progression forward in the digital age; with products such as plasma televisions being a simple stop gap until new interactive media is released I believe we will see such services as Skype for commerce boom.

True at 30% it is ridiculous and I am sure that both competition and increase of user base would substantially change the price point of such technology.

We are moving forever towards more digital communication, my fiancée and I are about to spend 6 months backpacking Australia and blogging as we go. Equipped with Nokia N series a Mac and Pc lappy, canon movie camera, and a Nikon DSLR D2Xs plus a bit more stuff just for good measure.

Even though we are still going to run into some Internet access issues over all it will still be a reasonably easy live blogging venture. With people such as us living from mobile incomes; technology such as Skype and up and coming developments only helps this new breed of virtual income earners.

Yes we can gripe about the prices and or payment guidelines, but we have to remember, did you release a better cheaper technology? Or are we just picking holes in what we know is going to be huge and just another step forward.

I for one welcome this with open arms, will probably even partake in the system, have to wait I will for Mac support, but this as well will become a distant memory as other software is developed. Also at the end of the day we know the Mac is a better platform with many active developers world wide, tomorrow there will probably be students huddling together seeing if how they are going to make the next Mac / Linux client.

Until we charge each other for our knowledge I bid you a b l o g g i n g good day</description>

		<description>Well said about the shifted focus, 30% or pricing schemes are just superficial, and phone sex would be just about the same size of distant learning not counting language exchange.

I&#039;d love to point out to everyone that once IM got monetized, and calls can be place in distributed online ads with just one click (click-2-call), either ended pc-2-pc or pc-2-pstn, you will see an emgerging sector which grows exponentially on Instant Soft-Commerce.   

I am sure one of our innovations, the &quot;Pay-U tm&quot; scheme will also add flavor to the online ads and CRM industry with improved intimacy and respect towards individual &quot;YOUs&quot; who together created and added value to the internet and  mashed up the Web 2.0!</description>

		<description>It is great to see Skype in the market..... all of a sudden it seems as if the  debate has shifted from market viability to whether 30% is too much to pay and, of course, the merits of phone sex :-) .

As an investor in Bitwine (www.bitwine.com), we have seen tremendous growth in installs and number of advisors. I am sure that some folk will prefer Skype, others Ether, etc. The point is that the market is so huge and the potential for innovation is so great, that there is ample room for quality services, such as these to provide value for users...and shareholders.</description>

		<description>skype should take a fixed price, not a percentage.
If one plans to use this skype feature to sell &quot;knowledge&quot; like 100USD/hour consultant, 30% is unfair. :(

hope skype comes up with another model. (otherwise I&#039;m not gonna use it)</description>

		<description>up to you, skimp, if you havn&#039;t noticed the potential of click-to-call in advertising!

Go to Kijiji or Adwords and expose yourself to the public, I&#039;m sure you can make a comfortable living just by helping people out.  BTW, Skype is not the first one offering click-to-call and presence icon, Y! is the one to my believe.

Yours,

		<description>When we filed our patent for the C2C revenue model in 2003, we included &quot;Pay-U&quot; as an option in addition to the &quot;Free&quot; and &quot;U-Pay&quot; options.  Skype missed that piece of goodie so far, but I doubt that they will play catch up after knowing there is a string attached to the whole concept.  

What is good in a &quot;Pay-U&quot; call? Well, it serves the demand side just as &quot;U-Pay&quot; scheme serves the supply side.  A market place should serve both sides to achieve balance.  If you price yourself at $20 per minute, and nobody calls you, why don&#039;t you go out and look for &quot;Pay-U&quot; users on the same subject? You might find a $6 customer, so you don&#039;t get paid $20, but $6 is better than $0 while your time is slipping away between your fingers.    

We expected all IM players to make their moves towards monetization with C2C fee flows, but we will claim our IP rights based on the patent that we applied for as earlier as in 2003 and granted since 2004, and for those who are curious about what we are hoping to achieve, here is our mission satement:

		<description>BitWine has the same user-base as Skype, think about it!

BitWine simply have a more efficient payment system. Skype system must charge high commission and hold the money for ages to avoid losses on charge-backs - fraud.

BitWine pays after 10 minutes.

When they do charge commission, it will be lower than Skype and will support Rev Share for the benefit of the users and Advisors marketing affiliates.</description>

		<description>Funny, when Wengo/WDEAL showed their concept at LeWeb 2.0 I asked the CEO what would happen when Skype did the same. &quot;But they won&#039;t!&quot; was the answer.</description>

		<description>Bitwine doesn&#039;t charge because it&#039;s in beta...I&#039;m sure that once they come out of that, they&#039;ll take a piece of your earnings as well.</description>

		<description>Also, yea, 30% seems way excessive.  BUT, it could be worse.

If you charge $1 a minute, you still walk away with $42.  Not bad for an hours worth of work.</description>
