今天又看到两个Skype上的连接请求，联系人分别是yyzh和笨笨熊，对不起，我不能接受这样的请求，因为从名字根本看不出他是谁。吸取从前MSN Messenger上的教训，那些奇怪的名字，可能并非有意骚扰，单是名字本身就会分散视线，从一长串名单中根本找不到想联系的人，最终大家都不能有效联络。 所以，既然我已经完全放弃了MSN Messenger，如果今后在Skype上有类似网名请求，我只会选择简单地拒绝，否则加入容易，删除总要有个理由。
Skype还有一个好功能，可以修改联络人的名字，我把所有SkypeOut的号码都加了“座机 ”这样他们就可以跑到一组去了，避免有时候误打Skypeout，浪费。
*我希望Wealink能够提供Skype联系人的导入功能。

In a social software session months ago, we ever talked about “Is email dying?” Many ideas were from blogging phenomenon that time. Blog can replace some functions of public sharing in email traffic before. I won’t publish one of my blog posts again in email to some friends since they can now aggregate my ideas with RSS. Although some privacy-sensitive information still transferred in email, especially for business users, I think more alternative tools could steal email’s role today in the future. Social networking based blogging, for example, could be more flexible to share information in a trust manner. People can easily publish a message to his/her trusted network(may includes hundreds of people) without concernning about the spam. In such case, subscription/publishing model will play. Instead of today’s “send/receive” model in email world.
Other tools, including SMS, IM, P2P communications, chould share the body of email…
