Skype
Friday, February 17th, 2006Just to let everyone know that I am contactable via Skype.
If you have a computer, a broadband connection and a headset of some sort (or speaker & mic), you should be able to call me free of charge – just download the software and look me up – just search for my name. If you can’t find me, send me an email and I’ll let you know my Skype username.
While Skype is closed-source and therefore evil, it does look like it might be the winner in the battle for free voice over IP services in the future. It even has a revenue stream in the form of SkypeOut and SkypeIn, features which allow Skype users to call real land-lines, and vice-versa – for a fee, obviously.
