Skype Me

If you couldn’t tell VoIP technology has always been an interest of mine. Not only am I a Vonage customer but I’ve been a casual Skype user for quite some time now. *+geek ego* Until just recently I’ve only ‘Skyped’ with friends and family or had it around for the occasional business use. However after this week with the launch of free SkypeOut service, the ability to call any telephone in the United States and Canada free of charge, I can see myself using it more and more at both home and work. I think this is a bold move on their part, I’ve read over the business model they have going with this and it’s risky. They say it’s going to be free until at least the end of 2006, I assume if everything isn’t going as planned by then they will go back to charging X amount of cents per min for the service. I’m interested to see how it works out.

I do plan to have the software running more often. I went ahead and added one of those neat Skype buttons to the website. It can be found at the bottom of the new ‘About’ page. So if you have nothing better to do and want to drop me a line, Skype Me.
