Skype is good

Mar 1, 2009

It’s no secret that calls to other countries are expensive. It’s also not a secret that there’s a ton of different VoIP options out there. When a Korean organization requested a conference call using Skype, I admit I was a little skeptical. I worried that the video would be choppy, and that the voice would cut out. Not so. The quality was much better than I’ve ever had with AOL, MSN or iChat. If you simply use it to connect with other Skype users, it’s FREE. If you’ve not tried it yet, you should.

Now if I could just get it through my head that Korea is 14 hours ahead of us. That’s so hard for me to comprehend for some reason. A 9:00 am Monday conference call starts at 7:00 pm Sunday night EST.
