Skype Developer Downloads… December to March
Posted in While delving around the Skype Developer’s Zone I was intrigued and curious by what was hot and what was not- according to their data at least- the number one application so far?- CrazyTalk- which is based around virtual avatars, among other features…Actually many of the applications, at this point, are more about self-expression, moods, avatars, rather than business- even with really good video in Skype’s current iteration. I’ll need to do more research and test many of these, but I found it very interesting.

Interesting Popularity Contest based on the numbers above: Who is really most popular.
Skype has distributed the extras to Premium on the main menu and Featured on the next level down.
On average Premium position get 1.3Million downloads, and Featured get only 4% of that 52K downloads on average.
If you compare to the average and normalize the two groups Speak and Translate, Pando, TalkAndWrite, Bitwine, NMS Love Detector and Skylook are the only applications above the average i.e. the most popular applications.
My favorite is BitWine as I am much more interested in the business aspects and my own financial benefits from using them, than the other Extras.
As a recommendation to Skype, they must take out the Premium extras from the Featured positions it reduces about 50% of the downloads of the Featured (since there about the same number of Featured and Premium). Placing the Premiums in the features adds less than 4% to their downloads (since they are already downloaded), and badly hurts the downloads of the Featured extras.
I have to congratulate Kiskish on outranking their original position (there maybe things behind the scenes here). I treated them as outlier for the above statistical analysis.

Hi Noni,
Thanks for the input. I am not passing any sort of endorsement etc on any of the add-ons, just interested in what was stacking up on the developer’s site. (Note- I actually use Skylook and have talked with their developer off and on and I thought it was really great.)
I agree Bitwine looks interesting for those who wish to use the platform to sell their time. I viewed an interesting video on that from another user (I’ll have to look for the URL.) who set it up and took a call from one of Bitwine’s founders and added about 30-35 USD in his pocket for the call. Time plus a tip at the end for an e-mail summary.
thanks for the comment!

hi Wayne, my name is Jake the owner of undergroundrevolt.org. I was wondering if you would like to take me up on a deal. my deal is that you write a 50-word review and link back to my
homepage. In return you will get a permanent link to your site in my sidebar. if you wish to take me up on this offer then email me at fabizal@yahoo.com
HI Jake,
I’d have to do decline on a deal like that with undergroundrevolt.org
I do recall your site quite well- I was checking on several articles you had on “gaming the system”- since I do security research….some were correct, others though might get you into trouble…and some stuff a bit dangerous. seriously.
I don’t trade reviews for links, etc etc, but you are welcome to contact me at wporter@gmail.com and illl point you to where some of the errata is…and if you have enacted some of the techniques I am happy to interview you or get your insider scoop on whether it worked or not….
thanks for stopping by and interacting!
regards,
wayne
thanks for your opinion, my website is only for educational purposes only, i hope you realize that. since you visited i have taken off alot of the more intense ideas and changed my blogs topic to “tech tutorials hacks and news”. as for the interview the only actual hacking ive done is on my own servers so no real material there. however i would be happy if you would email me and tell me where the errata is. i am still interested in exchanging links however, so if you would like to do that i am more than happy.
thanks,
Jake
