He seamed to be online and Skype looked promising to get a quick answer. So I typed and I typed my thoughts and questions in the chat box but I didn&#8217;t get any response that day. The next day I asked him over the email if he got my Skype message. In the afternoon I logged in on Skype with my username on my wife&#8217;s computer (it was online and it was too much of a hassle to turn on my computer just to call someone) and I forgot to log out. The third day in the morning I received supervisor&#8217;s email that he answered to my Skype question and he complained that: <\/p>\n<p><em>&quot;I wish skype had some way of<br \/>\nnotifying you about its IM activity. &#8230;&nbsp; Actually only just<br \/>\nnoticed there is an indication of unread messages in the chat window<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nI must try to visit it sometimes &#8211; too many different communication<br \/>\nchannels to check now-a-days, email, skype, twitter, facebook, SMS &#8211;<br \/>\nwith too little integration&quot;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The funniest part was that I didn&#8217;t get his message in Skype on my computer. That afternoon I complained to my wife and she said that I got the message on her computer. It took three days to get the answer that could be answered in minutes and I would never know receiving it if I wouldn&#8217;t complain!<\/p>\n<p>Skype is not synchronizing events over several devices. I use Skype on my computer, on my cell phone and sometimes on other people&#8217;s computers. And my conversations now lay on several devices. Even funnier! Half of the mentioned conversation is on my computer while the other half is on my wife&#8217;s computer. How god is that Sykpe :).<\/p>\n<p>PS: This conversation is by definition called &quot;information item&quot; (Jones, Keeping found things found, 2008) but it is now fragmented over two devices and it&#8217;s whole semantics can not be concluded from just one part. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s interesting doing a research of phenomena that directly affect me.&nbsp; I started a conversation a few days ago with my supervisor on Skype.
