Anyone Using Skype? - GoFuckYourself.com

ICQ is such shit, maybe it's about time Webmasters switch to a new standard. Perhaps this is it?

Has anyone used this? If you have it installed, let me know...I'm gonna install it now and give it a shot. Would love to test it out.

Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users ? not to share files this time, but to talk for free with your friends.

The technology is extremely advanced - but super simple to use... You?ll be making perfect quality free phone calls to your friends in no time! Just tell them to get Skype as well, if they don?t already have it.

I've used it a few times and it works well for what it does. There is occasional skipping or slight lag in the conversation like any internet phone, but the quality seems a little better than the ones I've used in the past.

I use it as a phone.
Great quality but I hate the chat...

That was my next question...is it a phone or chat. Looks like it's both.

I installed but can't find my microphone. Gonna have to order a headset or something.

I have heard nothing but good reviews about Skype. If the quality can be raised a bit, then Vonage/DialPad may have some serious competition
