<![CDATA[Skypecast on now]]>Get the new Skype 2.6 beta and join in with the SkypeCast. We already have six people on the cast. UPDATE: the test was a success. We had about a dozen people online and the quality was great. A great way to get a group of people together and talk about something.

One problem, though, was people entering who didn’t have headsets. Sometimes we’d get some weird feedback. Easily solved by muting them, but a bit frustrating. Also the interface could be improved a bit for asking questions via text so you don’t have to disturb the main chat. 

It’s amazing this is free.

One thing I wish was for a “record this session” button so that I could record what we talked about and point you at that. Sorry, no recording of this one exists. Next time I’ll get my podcasting device out and record it, but next time I’ll have something to talk about.

Hey, speaking of which, next Tuesday Apple is having a special announcement and PodTech will be there, so maybe we should all get together next week after the announcement and get together and talk about it (no, I’m not gonna give you my predictions again. I’ve been burned by Apple once already).
