Skype has raised all prices during the last months and is now ‘inventing’ a service that is already being offered by numerous websites. Any specialized restaurant review website does a much better job in listing reviews than Skype can in their limited interface.

Skype is desperately looking for ways to make a little money, I am certain that very soon they will start charging for the listings in their directory.

Why on earth do they not focus on what they are good at? (Which is offering a unique VoIP service btw :)) The Skype software is starting to look like the good old bloated ICQ interface!
