Skype

Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing. The network is operated by a company called Skype Limited, headquartered in Luxembourg and partly owned by eBay.
I think skype is important because it has allowed people to connect to eachother in a variety of ways and for free. I think it could become even bigger in the future with updrades in hardware and software moreover the growing user populaton.

  1. Yep agreed - Skype is an amazing innovation - you might like to read a bit about the upcoming battle between Google's free call service and Skype - should be quite a contest. Remember it is YOUR thinking I am interested in - instead of that paste at the start of the post you could have done was just included a link. Keep up the good work
