A1 We have multiple Skype groups, blogger collaborations, @MyBlogU, communities on G+, groups on FaceBook & LinkedIn #SocialCafe— Gail Gardner (@GrowMap) October 1, 2014
@socialwebcafe A1. I think businesses should help and support one another... always collaborate! #socialcafe— Plumlytics Social (@Plumlytics) October 1, 2014
- What tools do you use for your collaborative projects?
There are many tools that we have found helpful online, when it comes to collaboration. We are just scratching the surface here, eh?
@socialwebcafe @zoho @googleapps @Skype are really the framework. Integration is king in collaboration IMO #SocialCafe— Jason (@ReasonedDissent) October 1, 2014
A2 Skype and @Trello primarily. How explained in http://t.co/YsKaxVsI1G @staciewalker @socialwebcafe #SocialCafe— Gail Gardner (@GrowMap) October 1, 2014
- Does Skype fit into that tool set? If so, how?
So many different uses for collaboration tools like Skype. And, it appears that we love our collaboration tools!
@socialwebcafe A3 Yes, even to do demos! Makes calling long distance cost effective as well @socialwebcafe #socialcafe— Plumlytics Social (@Plumlytics) October 1, 2014
A3. I won't age myself too much, but I have been using Skype for over 10yrs and I LOVE it as a collaboration #SocialCafe— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) October 1, 2014
- What challenges have you faced (or imagine you would face) with Skype?
It appears there is more that we love about Skype than dislike, but there are always ways that we can improve (without complaining about them, right?). Oh, and let’s remember to support each other, like Da Vinci’s speaking engagement, eh?
@socialwebcafe A4. I have had bad connectivity problems! Visual especially so sometimes have to resort to audio only #socialcafe— Plumlytics Social (@Plumlytics) October 1, 2014
Speaking of collaborations! I will be speaking at @BYBConference on behalf of @LifeRichPub in February! Excited about that #SocialCafe :)— Da Vinci (@PocketSousChef) October 1, 2014
- What has Skype helped you to do in the team environment?
Productivity comes in different flavors, including the collaboration with clients and/or teams.
A5 I wouldn't be nearly as productive, as a team, without Skype.. IMing between group calls #SocialCafe— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) October 1, 2014
@socialwebcafe A5. I have been able to do product demos, working with collogues from home. #socialcafe— Plumlytics Social (@Plumlytics) October 1, 2014
- What would you like Skype to be able to do? What do you need help with doing?
Wouldn’t it be nice if Skype could wash our dishes, too? Seriously, though, it is a pretty amazing tool allowing us to do things that are even more amazing!
@socialwebcafe I second that!!! #socialcafe #socialwebcafe— Plumlytics Social (@Plumlytics) October 1, 2014
A6. I would say less ads on the Microsoft version lol #SocialCafe... more ability to do video calls for free with more than 2 people— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) October 1, 2014
- How do you see Skype fitting into your business plans in the future?
So many ways to enjoy and utilize these tools...
@socialwebcafe A7. The economical way of connecting to clients all over the world! Its tech savy and cost effective! #socialcafe

A7 Skype already has a huge part in my business landscape, and will likely only grow #SocialCafe— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) October 1, 2014
@socialwebcafe A7 I'd like to do more F2F with my network, especially as lots of contacts are on the other side of the world! #SocialCafe— Greedy Girl (@thefoodieworld) October 1, 2014
