I feel like I was one of the first ones of my friends that knew about Skype because I ended up showing all of them this phenomenon. I have about 15-20 friends on Skype. It’s very easy to use and a lot of fun. Skype’s buzzing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, worldwide. At peak times, there are up to 20 million people online. What’s most important, however, is what Skype can do. Voice and video calling, IM and SMS are now available on a wide range of operating systems and mobile devices. They connect business colleagues, saving them time and money and allowing them to stay ahead of the competition. And they help keep friends and families together, wherever they are in the world. With that in mind, many people like to add all their friends and save on mobile cellular phone minutes. Responsible for 8% of global international calling minutes, and with its users making 3.1 billion minutes of calls to landlines and mobiles in the third quarter of 2009, Skype is a leading global internet communications company. And of course, Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls are completely free. In the third quarter of 2009, Skype users made 27.7 billion minutes of Skype-to-Skype calls, and over a third of these were video calls.

Now that I had Skype and I learned all the fun things I could do with it, I got excited because I could call different people who also had not only the software, but a camera so we could see each other. I met a girl from London, and it was kind of funny. When we first met on Facebook, she was adding people she thought were going to Norfolk College in England. So we have one friend in common. Turns out, the friend we have in common is one of my roommates. When I explained it to her, I thought it was hilarious. Sometimes it’s hard to talk to her, especially because time in London is 5 hours forward than time here so when I’m eating dinner, it’s time for her to go to sleep. When its breakfast time for me, she's eating lunch. We try to catch each other in the middle of the day when it’s not too late for the other. Her name is Chinazam, and she goes to the University of London. It’s more than likely one of the only colleges over in London, so most English people attend there. She is the leader of the Choir, and is a Nursing student studying to be a neurologist.

Skype Blog 1

I was visiting my uncle and he was telling me about all the different countries he's been to. He was also telling me that because of the Navy, he had met all these great people and kept in contact with them through Skype. Not knowing what Skype meant or was, I asked him. He went on to tell me that Skype is software that enables the world's conversations. Millions of millions of individuals and businesses use Skype to make free video calls, voice calls, send instant messages and share personal and private computer files with other Skype users. Every day, people also use Skype to make low-cost calls to landlines and mobiles. He explained to me that it was free, and also that it helps you connect to people all over the world easily. With my new laptop with the camera attached, he showed me that I could video chat with him at all the places he could go. I downloaded it promptly and decided to customize my own profile. It was very exciting to see that not only could I do all these things but the fact that it wasn’t costing me a cent. I thanked my uncle promptly and started using it.
