As a former IM guy, I am alway trying to figure out new creative IM ideas. This one I really like, Skypeminicasting from Uri Levanon. Uri suggest that people leave a small minicast to their buddies on the buddy list, basically a voice extension of the small personal tagline you can put today on your MSN – Skype Journal dubbed it BuddyCasting . Hey Skype – pick up this idea, I think it got legs! Everybody is looking for a stage in one way or another now-adays to express them selves – this is yet another way of doing it. I would go even further and create a service to enable people to randomly access and listen to Buddycasts. It could be hilarious, users could then filter to whom their buddycast would be available to.

Thanks for picking this up. Great additions. The word that really captures me is "expression". Putting more expression into the buddylist is a huge thing.
Cheers
Stuart
