Amazon just launched a Skype Competitor.
It looks like it only targets the enterprise sector. Does it integrate with AD? We have a YUGE economic moat.
That's what Walmart said...
You're offering a real alternative to Walmart, not to the entire MS stack
Hmm, Another product lunch that's completely out of the blue for me. One would think we'd be using this internally.
But WebEx is so awesome! Why would you want to stop using that? (Sarcasm)
We do...it's called Biba
We've been using this, under a different name, in aws for a while now.
Wait. Aren't we just a retail company ?
Amazon acquired Biba sometime back ago. Its a rebranding of the same product. https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/23/justin-biba-amazon-video/
I think other companies should look into getting into retail lol
Anyone can create this. Building a webrtc product is very simple, i did a skype competitor in just two days. Guess what, video/audio tech is mainstream, skype or not, whoever integrates well with everyone and creates a nice compelling experience, will do well. Ever since facetime whatsapp messenger snapchat viber etc introduced video/voice, skype hangouts usage dropped. Competition is so great, love it!
Echo integration coming soon. Doesn't matter how much I scream and shout internally, our assfuck cortana leaders don't see that putting a screen and skype on an Echo-like Cortana device would win. Good job yet again Amazon for being awesome.
Shouldn't be hard to have a better product than Skype ...
So ?
