Late to the Skype Party

Ok, I know I’ve talked a lot of tech on this blog which wasn’t my intention since I have a separate blog for that purpose.

But…

Today I had my first experience with the phenomenon that I seem to have been sleeping through (which is saying something). Skype is one of the coolest technologies to-date. Now, VOIP (”voice over ip”) is not new technology but the useability and quality of this system is exceptional. Granted, I’ve now used it a total of ONE time but it was a conversation with a friend in Scotland about a blog I just finished creating for her. She asked “do you have Skype?” as a way to see if we could talk about the set-up and so I finally had a reason to investigate.

Let me just say that this is pretty darn cool on so many levels. Now I’ll have to port my bluetooth headset with me more often and use it as a headset when talking to people via Skype through my laptop. I once invested in a company that I was sure was going to strike it big. They were some of the early pioneers of the VoIP technology but were a little too ahead of their time and have since faded away.

Looks like Skype is poised and ready. I know I’m diggin’ it as are millions of others.
