Skype is coming out with a bunch of announcements today and perhaps (perhaps) it’s sign of a re-invigorated operation even though there remains continuing grumbles from users about the actual product development and the lack-lustre, dated, interface and features.

Meanwhile, Skype has announced a number of new partnerships for its ‘Skype in the Classroom‘ initiative, which is all about promoting video-calling in the classroom – and spreading the adoption of the application of course.
