If this has been mentioned on this list previously, I do apologize.  However I 
do not see it here.

I hope this information is useful

At Skype, our aim is to offer products that delight people and enable the 
world's conversations. Part of our vision means coming up with new ways for our 
community of more than 338 million registered users to stay in touch.

Skypecasts is one of the many features that we've developed to enable these 
conversations. What we've learned by watching how the product is used and 
through user feedback is that Skypecasts is not quite measuring up to our high 
standards and expectations for connecting and delighting our users.

As a result, we have made the decision to retire Skypecasts from active service 
for the immediate future, effective 12 noon BST on Monday, 1st September 2008.

This decision is consistent with Skype's efforts to prioritise resources 
towards the products and areas of innovation that that will have the biggest 
impact on the Skype community.

Philosophically, we continue to believe in the concept of Skypecasts - group 
communication on a specific topic of interest. As such, we will look for ways 
to reintroduce this functionality in a way that lives up to both our and our 
community's high standards.

To those people who regularly enjoy hosting and taking part in Skypecasts, we 
apologise for the inconvenience and hope we'll be able to release a new and 
improved Skypecasts product in the not too distant future. We'll be sure to let 
you know when that day arrives.
