Ok, I know I didn’t invent Skype… but I just discovered it. Finally came on my radar screen. Why have I not tried free conference calls before? What was I thinking? (Maybe that most people don’t have a PC microphone?)
I needed to conference with two technically-inclined people. One was a Skype fan. The other, like me, hadn’t Skyped. But A convinced me to try it, and I convinced B. And it was all as easy as… ABC. Now I want EVERYONE I know to use Skype! Immediately! Yesterday!
How does the tipping point work for you?

Hey there!
If you haven’t seen it yet, also check Gizmo: http://www.gizmoproject.com/.
It’s an open standards compliant VOIP option…which means much more hackable, which of course means they’ll be more fun plugins as the time goes on. Voice quality and such is identical to Skype. Don’t get me wrong…I love Skype, but Gizmo might give it a run.
