Skype gets an evangelist :o)

This is interesting news I read at Mr. Bad Sunglasses: Lenn Pryor is leaving Microsoft for Skype. Being a pure Skype chat user (and of course telephone) the last months I am very excited to see this.

Because we all know, that Skype is a great company but lacks something: A face in the company, someone you would think of. What better person to fill this with as the creative Lenn? No, I don't know what exact position he will have, but he is a Evangelist by nature.

You can't stop such a passion and you defenetly don't hire such a person if you would not want exactly that out of him.

Which I would love. Skype is such a great product and could even more exciting, but there are so many things missing in it -being one of the first things: AVM Fritzbox, the other great technical products, needs Skype support. Desperatly. If Skype has sold it's soul to Siemens alone, they deserve a big 'Hello McFly''.

And it is a big thing for Europe also - Skype being a European company with a focus on more than just the US markt.

So, Lenn, welcome to Europe. This will be an exciting new step for all of us. And perhaps we will even see a Skype blog soon? ;)

Skype is made up largely of Estonians, how many people in Silicon Valley even can find Estonia on a map?

*caugh* I think it is around the corner here somewhere ;)
