What's wrong with skype via skype?

Why you dont use Yahoo Messenger for yahoo, Gmail for Gtalk...... No need to give a stuped anwer on a clever question...


I am indeed wondering why a clever company like Apple with huge recourses isnt able build in Skype, Facebook Chat, and others... look at OpenSourse or free initiatives https://imo.im/ , http://kopete.kde.org/ , http://pidgin.im/ , https://www.yuuguu.com/s/home , http://www.miranda-im.org/ , http://www.trillian.im/, http://www.fring.com/ , http://www.nimbuzz.com/ , http://www.ebuddy.com/ , meebo (but just bought by Google), Maybe Apple should buy for example fring to learn from the small guys.


Apple should deliver minimal a similar solution with their operating system.... communication with customers and friends is one of these days a must on every system.

This post has been dormant for over a year. Certainly the participants have felt no need to continue. At this point you might want to initiate a new topic of your own so your question gets the full attention it deserves. Realize that this is not Apple but is a user forum. We are all voluteers. And if my socratic method disturbs you just ignore it like everyone else does.

There is a way:

There is jabber (XMPP) ****

It offerst jabber to skype transfer. In most of the cases it works nicely (I tried it with Adium), but It happend to me that some messages were not delivered. But it is typicall for all Jabber services I tried before. For me Jabber is good only, ONLY if there are no other ways. So - if you hate skype interface you can use this jabbim server. It is not free - the fee is about 7 Euro/Year. There are 15 days to try.


I hate skype mainly because useless interface (especially for messaging). But it still sits on my dock :-(
