Skype Kills Extras (and Its Developer Ecosystem)
,----[ Quote ]
| Skypeâs new owners should be aware of one small thing: They are paying $2
| billion for a company that, despite having more than 400 million subscribers,
| doesnât know how to leverage that platform. Why? Because it doesnât understand
| developers. It never has. We have consistently pointed out this lackadaisical
| attitude towards its developer ecosystem. The fact is that if you put your lot
| with Skype, then you are really on your own. Today the company announced that
| itâs killed Skype Extras, an API-based effort that was launched with much
| fanfare in June 2007
