Media coverage

As most of you have noticed Skype Prime doesn't have a directory, yet. While we are busy building it you can use the user-generated list of services on Skype Forums. It also has links to a couple of user-generated directories, which may be worthwhile to use in the interim.

On a different note this post on Skype Journal encourages people not to count on Skype's directory-to-be-launched, but develop additional ones. As Phil Wolff puts it:

> The point of a directory isn't to make a list. The point is to trigger useful, relevant conversations.

Creating very relevant information is always a good idea. If you've succeeded in it or found a good one, please do let us know via forum or comments.

Anyone looking for new business ideas should visit Springwise or subscribe to their weekly newsletter. Even more so, because their latest edition included Skype Prime.

> Skype has over 171 million registered users, is available in 28 languages and is used in almost every country around the world. Which means a very large reach for minipreneurs who'd like to sell their services, whether they're offering Spanish lessons, tax advice or something saucier.

Springwise is a network of trend and new business ideas spotters. They've coined the word minipreneur for the type of people who set up Skype Prime services and have a good article about minipreneurs on their sister-site.

A nice blog post summarizing benefits of Skype Prime for language teachers.

> I believe we now have the technology where anyone can become a language tutor or student while being anywhere in the world.

This, spotted on Skype Journal is the funniest Skype Prime web button I've seen so far
