@xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

Too many Skype/Team service degradation advisories from Microsoft within this month alone. What's going on.

@Skype Fantastic, thank you - had some hardware issues on a borrowed laptop (I’m not very good at tech!) but I just switched over to the app on my phone and it worked wonderfully with great video/audio quality and no glitches 👌🏼

@CarterTemm @PolarLights7 @Skype Oh my goodness! Thanks for the heads up! Skype's only going down hill, not up.

@WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

I absolutely dislike Skype interviews. Phone too. Would rather they be in my living room with me slouched on the ole couch with beer in hand, puffing a Marlboro light 100. And interviewer in straight back, not so comfy chair "Perspiration" rolling down his cheeks. Hoo rah

@PeculiarBaptist @Jonesy_Wales @ClayTravis @ColinCowherd It’s not callers, it’s guests with bad Skype connections (something I mentioned on-air before.) But Colin never had problems with Skype until this week

@morganlinton I am a very happy Zoom customer Great investment They did what Skype, Hangouts, WebEx & the rest failed @ Build scalable, foolproof, cloud based, videoconf system that works EVERYTIME! Never have had trouble with connections, QoS, nothing Only when participants lines go down

Just had a phone call with a client via zoom on my home Uber pc. Because of security restrictions he had to use Skype for business . Much worse audio and terrible picture quality on the same setup . Skype for business is awful (at least for external folk)

@theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

We're fixing to have a Skype interview with a @UTexasMcCombs accounting student. Fingers are crossed that we don't embarrass ourselves again with silly technical issues this time!
