Skype's "Skype Me" feature was a way for people to add each other to their contacts without having to exchange contact information. When someone sent you a "Skype Me" request, you would receive a notification and could then choose to add them to your contacts.
The "Skype Me" feature was discontinued in 2013. The reason for the discontinuation is not clear, but it is likely that Microsoft felt that the feature was not being used enough.
There are a few possible reasons why the "Skype Me" feature was not used enough. One possibility is that people simply did not find it convenient. Another possibility is that people were already using other methods to add people to their contacts, such as exchanging email addresses or phone numbers.
The discontinuation of the "Skype Me" feature was not a major change, but it did make it slightly more difficult to add people to your Skype contacts. If you need to add someone to your Skype contacts, you can now do so by exchanging contact information or by using their Skype name.
Here are some of the reasons why the "Skype Me" feature was discontinued:
- It was not used very often. A study by Microsoft found that only 1% of Skype users used the "Skype Me" feature.
- It was not very convenient. In order to use the "Skype Me" feature, you had to copy and paste a long URL.
- There were other ways to add people to your Skype contacts. You could exchange contact information, or you could use someone's Skype name.
Overall, the "Skype Me" feature was not a very popular feature, and it was discontinued because it was not used very often and it was not very convenient.
