I do.
I also use MSN with webcams with some of my family members so we can see each other. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Skype is great. It was actually a Swedish guy who started it. He's the same person that created the file-sharing software Kazaa.
He recently sold Skype for around $300 million. A nifty little profit from a simple software product... . | |

I've never heard of SKYPE, but I'm a moron. It still costs me 10p a minute to talk to people on the Messenger Service on my mobile phone. They call it 'WAP'. Indeed. | |

Skype allows you to talk to anyone on the planet, for however long you want for free (as long as you both have downloaded the free software). It's a pretty unbeatable deal if you like talking on the phone...especially if it's to people in other countries. | |

google now has that feature.
It alway shat voicechat, but now it has a skype type feature as well. The problem with skype is that it limits your talks to a small set of people (which may not bother some people) | |

Now that E-bay has bought Skype I think it will find a just as huge audience though. | |

Installing Skype made so many alarm bells sound on my firewalls, I decided to take it off again and run a system test.
My Norton AND anti-tracker software took off FIFTY EIGHT different kinds of spyware. Please read the agreement VERY well before installing, please. | |
