There’s a program growing quickly in popularity that you need to be aware of.
Skype, a service that provides free video and voice calls, instant messaging and file sharing capabilities, is a must-have tool for all Internet surfers.
One could easily connect with friends and associates via video and/or audio messaging. During the conversation, one’s screen and files could be shared creating a dynamic Web experience.
As web cams become increasingly standard on new laptops and desktops and more folks gain access to high-speed Internet, Skype is quickly becoming one of society’s “it” programs.
And as more people join the service, it is becoming increasingly powerful. I bet at least a dozen of your friends colleagues are using the service already.
I have known folks to use Skype to:
- video chat with friends and family members who are studying abroad
- chat audibly with several dozen friends simultaneously
- share files and screen captures while meeting virtually with professors and employers
An increasing number of users are leaving AIM and Yahoo! Messenger for Skype.
I think you should at least give it a try.
