Hello all,
If you don't have Skype or don't use SkypeIn (where you have your own telephone number that goes to Skype on your computer), this program isn't for you.
If you do use SkypeIn though, you'll probably appreciate WhereSky! SkypeIn provides the phone number (Caller-ID) of incoming calls, but not the name. The reason is simple: it costs a few cents to do Caller-ID name lookups for each call, and that really adds up. For the very low price of SkypeIn, it just doesn't make sense for them to provide the name with the Caller-ID.
Although we can't (yet, at least!) provide the name, you know this is the site for finding out the location of phone numbers. So we're working on an addon to SkypeIn that will provide the location of callers, at least letting you know where the are calling from (and whether they are using a landline or cell phone, and the telephone company).
If you are interested in testing the program, just let us know (you can send an E-mail to me here, or just post that you are interested).

I checked on this, and it looks like the project got discontinued due to lack of interest. Apparently, while Skype is immensely popular, SkypeIn is not used frequently (where you have a phone number ring on Skype). And no, the program would not reveal blocked numbers; that's a shady area (apparently not illegal, though, as there are complex ways that it can be accomplished in some cases).
