Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Now you are able to be in touch with new friends from our network.

What you need is only to find profile in our network, send new Invitation to join as described on image below.

invite new friend to your skype network
When requested member will answer your invitation you are will be automatically connected.

After that you will see your friend’s profile in “Connections” section.

You could also try to find new friends via “Skype” directly, but everyone know that web is best place to do that - and I’m working to make this site good place to make friends on the web :)

New look of PrimeSkype.com

Monday, November 5th, 2007

This weekend I have deployed new changes to our site.

I think new look is better and navigation is more intuitive then in older version.

Also, profile editing now is more easy because we placed all main personal info fields on one page.

Personal photo/userpic now visible on “personal information” edit profile page which I think will force many users to change it from default to highlight profile in skype prime directory of users directory.

Registration process now is more clear because I have removed not necessary fields like “address”. Such fields is not required and could be filled in profile page later.

One of main changes is blog stylization. Our blog now have same style as whole site and blog link placed in main navigation menu (which changed too).

Now “featured profiles” will be shown in random order on home page of the site.

What “featured” mean? Fill your “Profile title ” and “about you” fields, select categories at right side and upload you photo or userpic.

So, go ahead and polish your profile to appear on home page.
