I have already posted this on the PodLeaders.com site but I will be interviewing Vint Cerf (father of the Internet - no it wasn’t Al Gore!) next week. If you have any questions for Vint (What is interplanetary protocol?), feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be sure to ask him.

Did Skype steal my SkypeOut credit?

I bought €10 worth of SkypeOut credit on 5th of March last. I used about €2 of that on calls and recently when I went in to check my balance, my balance was zero - €0!

How did that happen? There’s no record of any SkypeOut calls for several months on my account - all my calls lately have been Skype to Skype.

I was going to top up my credit but now I don’t trust the system with my money.

I see Jeff Clavier has a post about the launch of StructuredBlogging.org at the Syndicate conference. Structured blogging is

a way to get more information on the web in a way that’s more usable. You can enter information in this form and it’ll get published on your blog like a normal entry, but it will also be published in a machine-readable format so that other services can read and understand it.

For more see the structuredblogging.org website.

The announcement is being made by Marc Canter, and Salim Ismail of PubSub.

This is very fortuitous timing - Salim pre-announced the structured blogging initiative in his amazing podcast on this site last week and co-incidentally, I am interviewing Marc canter at the end of this week for a podcast to be published next week!

Are these podcasts topical, or what?

Offline there briefly

Apologies if you were trying to reach this site in the last 30 minutes or so - our hoster had an outage, so the site was offline for a while, but all seems to be back to normal again (fingers crossed).

Any questions for Marc Canter
