I guess I had saw a (suggested)revised diplomacy skill in the paizo blog (or something like this, maybe in some book...), but I just can't find it. Someone now what I saying and can tell me where to find this revised skill?
Are you meaning this from Skill Unlocks?
Diplomacy
With sufficient ranks in Diplomacy, you earn the following.
5 Ranks: The time required to influence a creature's attitude or gather information is halved.
10 Ranks: You can attempt to adjust a creature's attitude in 1 round by taking a –10 penalty. If you take 1 minute to adjust a creature's attitude, add your Charisma bonus to the number of hours that attitude change persists.
15 Ranks: You can attempt to adjust a creature's attitude in 1 round with no penalty. If you take 1 minute to adjust a creature's attitude, the duration of the resulting change is measured in days, not hours. You can gather information in 10 minutes by taking a –5 penalty.
20 Ranks: You can attempt to adjust a creature's attitude in 1 round with no penalty. If you take 1 minute to adjust a creature's attitude, the duration of the resulting change is measured in weeks, not hours. You can gather information in 1d4 minutes with no penalty.
It's not Paizo or even Pathfinder, but this GITP article is a moderately famous and well received reworking of how Diplomacy could work in 3.5 system games.

That's pretty good, actually. It makes more sense than the current "hostile" chart does. It makes diplomacy more about bargaining however. Some examples of diplomacy include court etiquette or defending/prosecuting someone in a trial, where there is no exchange of services or goods. This is a solid basis, but it does not help with a person trying to stop the mob from lynching, or an envoy hoping to keep channels of communication open between two kings in dispute to avoid war. But, overall, I like this a lot! Thanks for the link!
Ultimate Intrigue included rules for verbal duels. Is that what you might be thinking of?
