Was just wondering what you people think about Skype? Isn’t Skype one of the coolest companies since the internet came about? Do you guys use Skype?
I saw this news article the other night on CNBC and they even said that companies like Skype are supsected to become some of the most successful companies in the years to come. I think they deserve it, considering the amazing service they offer.

Skype is a simple software, which, once downloaded onto your PC, you can make FREE phonecalles to anyone all over the world, if they have got Skype installed on their computer as well! Even better - you can also phone landlines from your Skype accounts, phoning landlines is not free, but charged at local rates, no matter who you call, anywhere in the world! Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Here is the link to it:

I just love Skype!

Sorry, I was wrong, at time’s it can be even cheaper than local phonecalls when you phone someone anywhere in the world, check out this link:

I’ve heard about it, and my guess it will become the next big thing. Who doesn’t like something thats free/cheap?!

Oh, and Google is trying to get into this market already.
Why doesn’t Google come up with something of their own? They always try to cover something someone else has done.

Skype is great! I’m currently in Australia studying and I bought a Skype-In number (€30/12 months incl. voicemail), so now my friends and parents in Sweden can call me from a regular phone and only be charged local rates!!!

There was something in the news about this today, saying it was not all it was cracked up to be!

I would like to know more about this. Has anyone apart from ebay got any experience with Skype. It sounds great...almost too good to be true.

Sorta.. you have to buy into it to call a regular telephone. I’ve also used Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, and the voice feature’s rather shitty at best.

skype works perfectly most of the time - at least for the PC-PC calls, provided you have a good microphone :)

Guys, don’t take my word for it. Go onto their website and check it yourself. ;-)

eBay: I have it downloaded, just not too many people to talk to yet.
