Skype Review
January 14, 2008
Skype is one of my new favorite technology tools out there. It is an application that you can download from skype.com for Mac and Windows. It allows you to call other skype users for free, anywhere in the world, via a mic and talk to them just as if you were on a telephone. Also you can text other skype users for free too. In addition to those features, you can call land lines and cell phones for a cheap rate. You can pay those low rates by buying skype pro and/or buying skype credit. If your friends don’t have skype, you can set up an online number so they can call you on skype with their old-fashioned phones.
In the future, I plan on using skype to talk to my classmates to get homework help, study for quizzes and tests, and work on group projects. By doing this we could collaborate our expertise and ideas to get things done faster and more efficiently.
Did I mention that I LOVE skype? I recommend that everyone downloads and uses this product. I would give a ten out of ten, OUTSTANDING.

Hey Cash Money….
Give us an example of how you’ve already used (or how you plan to use) Skype to help you learn something new. After all, that’s what new tools should really be all about, isn’t it?
If you can’t learn something with it, it’s useless!

Hey Bam Bam…
I read your comment and began thinking about what you said, a great idea/point. New tools should help you learn something new. Therefore I wrote another paragraph in my artice about that.(2nd paragraph)
Check it out,

Hey Joker…
If you download it you can still use skype without a web cam. You can call people and text chat with people even though you don’t have a web cam. So it’s still worth downloading even if you don’t have or are not allowed to have a web cam.
