Web Conferencing as a Skype 3.0 Extra

Convenos announced it has delivered the Convenos Meeting Center Extra for Skype 3.0. With the Convenos Meeting Center Extra, users can now launch meetings directly from within Skype, easily displaying, sharing and editing files and documents in an online meeting with one or more users whenever they want. This means business users can also move seamlessly from a Skype chat or conversation directly into a collaborative web meeting via Convenos Meeting Center.

"This solution makes it even easier to collaborate with anyone online -- a few clicks in Skype, and you're instantly in a Convenos meeting with your Skype contacts," said Thomas Torf, Convenos CEO. "We're extremely excited to deliver this solution to Skype customers as an early participant in the Skype Developer Program, and we anticipate delivering additional offerings as a top Skype for Business partner."

As one of the top 30 Skype developer partners, Convenos has worked with the Skype team throughout the development phase of Skype 3.0. Skype continues to innovate in the delivery of Internet communication tools, and now with the Convenos Meeting Center, Skype users can have collaborative meetings online at any time.

"We value our ongoing partnership with Convenos and are delighted they have delivered the Convenos Meeting Center Extra for Skype 3.0," said Paul Amery, Director of Skype Developer Program. "The integration of Convenos Meeting Center and Skype 3.0 follows a natural evolution of business communication toward the use of collaborative technologies to drive business success. We look forward to our continued joint successes though the Early Adopter Program, Skype for Business, and the Skype Developers Program."

BITWINE PARTNERS WITH SKYPE

Launch of Skype 3.0 to Include the “Trusted Advice from Real People” Service

TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY AND LONDON – December 14, 2006 – BitWine Inc., the online provider of ‘Trusted Advice from Real People,” announced that it has been selected by Skype, the Internet communication company, to be included in the new Skype 3.0, to be released today. With the new BitWine Extra, Skype users not only have enhanced audio and video capabilities, but also the ability to personally charge or pay for their time while using rich media calls.

The “BitWine Taskbar Skype Edition” is fully integrated into Skype 3.0, which allows users to provide paid advice or instantly purchase the advice or knowledge urgently needed using Skype and PayPal.

“We followed bloggers and answer leaders on different forums, and a recurring theme was the desire of skilled, knowledgeable individuals to be able to charge for the advice that they had been dispensing for free,” stated Alon Cohen, BitWine’s cofounder. “By combining the power of Skype’s rich media audio and video communications, we can now open our service beyond dispensing advice to a whole set of diverse rich media services ranging from music lessons to language tutoring to securing a second opinion on legal and medical issues.”

BitWine’s features are designed to promote instant trust between the service purchaser and supplier. The buyer does not have to prepay for service. Both parties can hear and see each other, and the buyer only pays if he feels comfortable with the interaction. Using the patent-pending payment system on the BitWine taskbar, Skype users will now be able to securely pay and receive instant checks. In addition BitWine offers an interface for bloggers to invite readers to call them for personal discussions that can be converted to revenue in real time. BitWine’s service also provides scheduling for optimal time management and a highly developed feedback and ranking system.

“The launch of Skype 3.0 provides an exciting portfolio of selected applications” said Paul Amery, Skype Director of Developer Programs. “We have been working to enable Skype as a distribution platform for third party add-ons. Applications such as BitWine Extra that use both Skype and PayPalTM are important in enabling end users to generate revenue while further integrating Skype into their day-to-day work or life. “This is an outstanding opportunity to present our service to an audience that is already sophisticated enough to appreciate Skype’s many advantages,” concludes Cohen. “We are very pleased that Skype shares our vision of bringing people together for their mutual benefit in this way.”
