Right for the last 5 years. The first 4 or 5 years you got from an Excel sheet I did send you. And the data from my sheet came also partially from the Skype RSS feed, partially from "reading" the numbers on the Skype client, and the data of the first year came from different sources.
Where does this data come from now we don't have Skype API? I see big jumps in numbers since it was removed. I think a clear explanation is needed on the site as to how these numbers are assumed and using what methods - also I see recent months are missing, which is a real shame. http://deano.me
May I ask where you got this data? I would like to quote it in a research project for school, but I need to validate my sources before I can use them.
ReplyDeleteThe basic data, now continuous for more than 10 years, is generated from a Skype client connected to the Skype cloud.
