Is Skype the new SmartTag? « Scobleizer - Tech Geek Blogger

Scoble shares some Skype impressions, but also, unfortunately, perpetuates folklore about smart tag technology in IE6.  Also see Windows Live Smart Menu for some related features.

Anyway, during dinner we talked about some of the trends and things we were seeing. One thing Amit and I both noticed is Skype’s new “Click to Call” feature in its latest beta.

What does it do? Well, it turns a phone number like 425-205-1921 into a clickable number (using Skype of course). That’s pretty darn cool, right? But, I wondered what would happen if MSN Messenger started doing that? Who would win? The most recently installed? Or would you see two links for every phone number?
