Jim Courtney wrote the following, concerning the third anniversary contest of Skype: “There are prizes offered; Skype Journal editors are not eligible even if we are not Skype employees.”
And then in the next post Phil Wolff, editor in chief of Skype Journal says that he met Jaanus Kase, chief Skype Blogger in
Why would the Skype Journal editors not be eligible for prizes if they are not involved in the Skype business in some way? It looks like they probably made some collaboration agreements! In exchange for what?

Right, this is plain stupid!

Perhaps you know better?
Cute, Jean! As far as I know, the Skype Journal people are indeed eligble for prizes.
As for independence, Skype Journal doesn't have a business relationship with Skype. Bill is active in their private beta program, which is uncompensated although I believe some directly related travel expenses are reimbursed or prepaid. If our relationship with Skype changes, we'll be sure to disclose it.
Meanwhile, what better way to get the skinny on Skype than from Skype people?
