Curious?  Go here. 

This is great news for Skype addicts like me, who don't really play in the forums.  What better than to get a huge range of news, views and info about Skype in your newsreader.  Am sure the folk with their teeth into VOIP and Skype will appreciate it too.

From the launch post at Unbound Spiral:

"So I'm switching on the 'Skype Journal', independent news, views and support for the Skype community. A developer community is already growing up rapidly around Skype. Along with hardware manufacturers this industry needs a vehicle to grow the total market. Concurrently Skypers need information and all want to learn new ways to go Skype.

So where's the business model?
As most of you know the money is not generally in blogs. I'll tell you more about the company later. For now there are many ways the Skype Journal can be helped. Get it up and running and a number of new opportunities open up. The first task is to build traffic to a new site. Help me over the next week. I have to capture an even broader Skype audience.

We are seeking:
- Sponsors: We need this most of all. A sponsor can today completely change the direction of how and where we go. 
- Tips / Insights: Your comments and input will always be the most valuable leads we get. Send us letters, let us know where you think we should be looking.
- Additional Writer / Contributor with Telecoms Technical Industry View
- Translators: We want to create a global blog. Skype is being translated already in forums, and for each new version. We have a "deal" in mind.
- Editorial Advisor: Mentor required, no blogging just thought required.

We plan to provide and have planned:
- Research Capability
- Product Design & Innovation
- Skype Focused Events"

Way to go Stuart and Bill !  Great actionable sense after being so generous with your understanding of Skype and its potential, and for stretching our Skype boundaries. 

All the best.
