What i don't fathom with the Skype home portion of Skype is how you post
something to facebook without changing mood message in Skype as well. Seems if
you post something to Facebook, you also set it as your mood message, and
changing mood message many times a minute is in my opinion pointless,
What i wonder about skype is this: When i am in a conference and someone wants
to praticipate and calls me how can i then add them to the conference, and i'm
not talking about when i'm about to call someone or if i want to add someone by
calling them, i'm talking about when someone calls in and
I believe there is a way. You add someone to the call by adding them in the
usual way; or so I suppose. Gonna have to play with it later to make sure.

There are a few ways I know if someone's sent me a message; first, my Skype
