Getting to Know Skype Manager
Hello. My name is Mart “Tram” Abramov, and I am one of the product managers here for Skype Manager. Since the launch of Skype Manager in May 2010, we have received a lot of feedback and responses from our users. The feedback is invaluable as we constantly strive to find new ways to make Skype Manager even better.
Over the coming weeks, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions we’ve received during this past year about Skype Manager. We will also include relevant links and user guides to help you get the most out of this helpful piece of software.
