As expected Skype will be a large part of the eBay Developer’s Conference in Las Vegas this June. Anyone want to bet Niklas Zennstrom won’t be there….Actually I’m hearing reports while I’m in Sweden that the tall one on the Skype team may be working to be able to come to the USA sooner than many would expect.
Anyway, the event in Las Vegas is a great way for those who want to develop for Skype to learn more about the ecosystem and how to work with Skype.
Skype will have its own full track of 7 technical sessions, and 2 training labs where developers can participate in hands on training. At the event, you can meet Skype engineers/staff, learn about the latest APIs, connect with the community, and check out what our friends at eBay, PayPal, Shopping.com, and Prostores are doing together. Developers, business leaders, industry luminaries, and employees of the eBay companies will come together to talk about new ways to improve commerce and communications on the web—both on and off eBay.
According to Skype’s official notification, aside from several news announcements, the event will provide insight to many looming questions, such as:
– What will the next technology revolution be
– How will it impact commerce and communications on the web
– And what opportunities will it provide for developers and technology innovators
– How will the Long Tail Theory play out
– Web 2.0 and how to build revenue streams
