This is not an advertisement - it's just that I like it! I think that more EC users should get Skype, so that we could actually chat, like, by conferencing. I have Skype (my handle is displayed to the right). Anyone else? Skype is free, it can be downloaded from www.skype.com. It is available for Windows, Linux and OS X. Let's create a voice community on EC! (By the way, my spoken English is a little rusty, I could use some chatting)
meh i heard all about skype but i never got it i mean i have myspace msn yahoo and aol but i never get on them anymore i pefer to use msn
I have it. A friend of mine had me get it, because he wanted to test how well it would work on Linux. I don't usually get on, unless I'm told to by someone. So, if you want to chat, just let me know.
Yes. Some people seem to think of Skype as an instant messenger, but strictly speaking it is not. It has instant messaging capabilities but it is fundamentally a Voice over IP (VoIP) client, designed to provide voice calls over the Internet.
I used to have Skype until my school banned us from using it. Something about it was unsafe for our network, whatever. Anyways, I liked it better than Yahoo and AIM, but I generally used it for the voice chat feature because it cost less to talk to my friend who was overseas that way. I'd reinstall it if I could!
