				why don't more people use Skype ?
			 it's free and the quality is great but still so many people aren't using it. so I asked my friends why? most of my friends say: "I'm too lazy to install it" the ones that used to use it say: "No reason...." or "don't know" the ones that DO use it sometimes and still keep call my to my cell phone from their cell phone when they are at the office say: "oh right, Skype, I forgot" but the next time - they use their cell phone again. what's up with that ? what is wrong with people ? why isn't as natural to them as it is to me ? |

				 | Many people is choosing Google Talk, I think because of that less people use Skype. |

				 | Skype is great! I use it for all my international calls and chats with people that use Skype   Amazing sound quality. I set up a phone number in States, and can take calls straight to my cellphone when I'm not around the computer. Skype truly makes the office - a wireless office. |

				 | I think not many people use Skype because they are lazy and do not want to download it, than install it, and fill up the registration form. They are afraid to spend 30 minutes to these things.

				 | I hate the phone and rarely use it, and I already have icq aim and msn going, why add another? if they came out with a good skype plugin for trillian I would definitely pick it up, but I am not installing another piece of software just cause it sounds cool, aol and icq are the standards, i doubt anyone will ban me from working with them if I don't install skype |

				 | I can always tell when one of our offshore customers is using skype: 1. Phone rings. 2. I answer. 3. No response. 4. I keep saying, "hello." 5. Call disconnects. |

				 | Been using it for a few years now and no problems    Also use it weekly for international conference calls which can go on for hours - and it's free. Overall... a no brainer.

				 | I use my cell for LD calls. When my son was in Japan he had a US number so I could use my cell to call him there too. Just haven't found a reason to use Skype though I did sign up before I knew my son would have a US number. |

				 | I use it to call my friends and family in Canada, love the cheap long distance rates.  I usually leave it disconnected when I'm not using it though, I don't treat it as a telephone where I'm reachable at...  Most day to day communication between my friends and I is done via IM anyway. |
