Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Mashup with Skype and win
Lots of companies are doing it, we just never expected it to come from Skype! They have officially entered the world of the mashup, and are celebrating in a big way. It's not a million dollars or anything, but its all about the creation isn't it. The Skype Developer Program wants your true innovative mashup. The mashup has to have some "skypeness" to it, and center around the application while being usable for businesses or consumers. Its gotta make people go WOW, while being robust and reliable enough to expand in the future. But most of all, it has to be different and new.
The prize bag holds a trip to Prague to receive the 2007 mashup cup, promotion of your mashup by the Developer Program, a mention in the September newsletter, and a frameable Skype mashup certificate.
Ok, so the prizing is a bit lame for an eBay owned company, but it's truly about your development skills and the spotlight you will enter. Isn't it? Deadline for entries is August 31st, and 10 runners up along with the winner will get promoted and published.

Great, so they take all the thousands of great ideas, make a stack of cash using them and hand-out prizes to one/a few ppl.

Nope, it's about outsourcing creativity for next to free.

Is that what they are discussing here: a new Skype with more functionalities, such as Tv, Video, Radio, wallet...?

@Pamela: This looks like more than just "a new Skype". If they manage to integrate all of these services (and make it work), this is truly a great step forward. The talk about the mobile phones interests me most. Any news yet what company is behind this?
