News Bits: Skype, Pandora and Meebo
There are a few product updates going out tonight or tomorrow morning involving Meebo, Pandora and Skype that are worth mentioning.
Skype Adds Skypecasts
Skype is also launching a preview of Skypecasts, a free new product that allows live, moderated Skype conversations of up to 100 people. The host may controls mute, eject and “microphone pass”. Skypecasts may be prescheduled and promoted via html snippets.
Skype is still lacking a record feature, and while there are some good third party products out there to bridge the gap, none seem to work on the new Intel Macs.
