Skype for Cats? Phil Wolff had given his list of 37 predictions on what will hspen with the world of Skype on 2008. Here are some of them.

1. Skype will try its best, but it will not be able to deliver a scalable open web client.
2. Adobe’s new realtime communication stack, Pacifica, will allow their flash designers, who by now count a million, to create their own Skype-like clients in a day. Soon, Braintalk Sudios, a flash creative, will turn into conference calls banner ads. The biggest evangelist in VoIM in flash of Adobe will be Ribbit.
3. Jaduka will not be bought by Skype.
4. 2008 will be another year without mails integrated by Skype.
5. Failing to execute on identity interop architectures (i.e., OpenSocial, OpenID, OAuth) is Talinn, which will remain a walled garden.

In VOIP, each new year brings with it vulnerabilities and worries, attacks and similar events. 2008 is no different than the past years, whether it pertains to IT, VoIP, or just your email account. The worries will be there, so it will be anyone’s guess on what will happen. The people at Network World have some good pieces on what people can expect in VoIP related activities. The bad news will always b there–the vulnerabilities, threats and attacks. But there is also good news–from the vantage point of view, the situation has not become critical at all.
