Do you Skype?

Here's a cool service you can try out and let your patrons know about - Skype. By going to here you can download free software that will let you talk to anyone anywhere in the world who also has Skype downloaded onto their computer. It looks a little like an instant messenger but acts as a phone; it make calls through your internet connection. You will need a microphone headset (or something along these lines) if your computer doesn't have a microphone built into it. I got it so I could talk to my friends who are going to school in Germany and Hungary. I'm not on very often but if you wanna try it out and have someone to talk to look me up by my name or my Skype name - anna.warns.

Hi Anna, I downloaded and tried Skype, finally. I chatted with my wife's aunt, who lives in Tokyo, and the connection was awesome. Some delay (1 or 2 seconds?) in the converstation, but all went well. I'm impressed! Anyhow, if you get a chance (or anyone out there in library land) my Skype name is memo.cordova. Thanks Anna!
