Yes, it's Anothr, not typo.
Anothr.com is a new service based on Skype "that can provides just-in-time alerts for your favorite feeds. It can simplify your blogs/news eading experience and improve the effectiveness of your daily information flow." I experimented this service for a while before its formal launch. It's simple and ease of use because you can just "add" and "chat" with the "Skype Robot" to learn how to use it. Its much smarter than other RSS/ATOM readers online or offline especially for those Skype fans.
Got a new message fro Jan's blog that another team in Russia leaked news(with pictures of a mock-up skype client) that they have cracked skype protocol. However, yet to find the real application downloadable. So there are someone commented on Jan's story that "Without working functionality (sing-in, speech), its nothing. I can create the same UI in 15-30mins :-)". Whereever the comments from, there raised some questions like "Who really hacked skype in depth, China team or Russian team?" and "How valuable to crack the protocal of skype?"
The first question seems weird but its true. I knew some of China crack team members, but I know they are very low key( because of shy, or?) to disclose details of their work. So the dilema is they either want people to know them or don't want people know them well. The acted very professional like a big company to carefully deal with the public relations. However, the drawbacks are very clear, their competitors catched up in the same direction, but more agreesive.
I won't doubt on the truth that they may all find the core algorithm of Skype already. But just like any other businesses around the world, they have to utlize the findings carefull and smartly. I hope there are fair competition between Skype and others. Also I hope there are fair competitions between Skype crack teams. Whoever develops good applications based on their findings, who can win the market. Instead, if anyone of them just wants to tease and leverage from capital market, the market will forget him someday in the future.
So I may not care who is now the real cracker, I just want to see how many benefits can end users get from the cracking.
