I hope this doesn't count as advertising, because I've tried Skype and I think it's pretty good so I decided to share it here.

Skype is a program like other chat messengers, except its main feature is using audio instead of typing. It doesn't take up as much memory as other messengers when having audio, and it sounds just like you're talking on the phone without any hiccups. Moreoever, you don't really need to pay (except for your Internet connection).

Now you can chat freely with your Internet buddies without knowing their phone number, just a username. Signing up is easy too.

Oh BTW, it has these funny phone sounds which are so funny XP

You can download it here.

I hope you'll enjoy using Skype as much as I do

Or anyone has it already? You can also share here about what you think of Skype.

yeah, it's pretty cool. but it only allows up to 4 people to talk, that's why i'm keeping Teamspeak, although, with Teamspeak, someone has to set up a server.

could you talk to more than one person at a time?

if you could, wouldn't that be confusing?

you can talk to more than one person at a time... just like the conference function on normal phones

It's good, i've used it b4.

yeah i like teamspeak :)

Yes yes, I just downloaded it. I talked to Nga on it. x) Anyone else have Skype?

skype carged my credit card.. and ive never used it o.o..... yea i use teamspeak or ventrilio, and useualy i have a good enough computer i host all the servers for them

sadly, i don't have a mic

That would be the same as 3-way (or more) on the phone.

Teamspeak serves a different function, though. Teamspeak is more like a radio almost, whereas Skype is more like a telephone.

I tried it, I didn't really use it that much because only a few of my friends had microphones.

Goodbye to 3 way charges.

Not that there are any 3-way charges on free nights/weekends, which is what we do anyway..

LAZY MUCH? USE THE PHONE.

^ well if some people cant call people long distance and pay so you can just use skype .

im getting it as soon as i get my mic

Some people talk louder in conference calls...

Theres also chatrooms in Skype.
I talked to so many people so far on it.

Oooh i love Skype! It's like 3-way conference except it's 5-way..

i never found out about it until yesterday when i saw mel's chat in the lounge.
it sounds fun though, sort of reminds me of msn... =]

I love skype! :D I use it to talk to my dad, who lives in Singapore. (I live in NY.) It's really useful because we used to use these annoying calling cards that we had to pay for, but Skype's both easy and free...and convenient, since we're both computer freaks.


Skype's awesome.

I tired it once it wasn't all that great I preffer the phone

Skype's awesome! I <3 it.

Skype is fun....to an extent.

Oh, I kept hearing Skype everywhere and I needed a good definition of it. This cleared things up for me. Thanks. It sounds fun, but I'm not good at talking. I'm the queen of awkward silence.

ok i got it.... but it's saying couldnt not connect to server, and im reading the error log, and the first thing that caught my eye was (Service Pack 2) .... sooo what do i do? Plz msg me on aim.. if you know what to do. k thx

:edit: Never mind... stupid me didnt have my Mic and headset set up =( lol
