It is crystal clear that quality of skype has dropped significantly for voice and video conf. This year I migrated to Viber for voice but still trying to find an alternative for video conf. Skype under Microsoft is dead. Every piece of internet-related apps/service that I have used evolves year over year, improving in a speed that scares me. Skype is the only major one I used that walked backwards in the last years. If I were leading that company I would resign.

I will remove Skype from my computer. Anything Microsoft touches turns to crap. They have proven this over and over again.

Do you use Dropbox, Evernote, or both? Ever wondered why they aren’t integrated into one convenient app? Well wonder no more! Coming soon….from FilesMobile. We love to hear ideas & suggestions for this new app. Go Here to offer your idea http://filesmobile.com/requests/
