La skype humaine

For those of you who don’t do Skype yet, now’s the time to give the service a try. They are offering unlimited free calls to anywhere in the US and Canada from now until the end of the year. International calls to, basically, any phone in the world, cost .02 Euros per minute. Unless you are calling Skype-to-Skype, which of course is free anywhere, anytime. Besides voice communication, the Skype connection offers IM, file transfer, video phone calling, and a net meeting function that supports up to 100 participants. And, of course, it’s all free. (La Cieca finds that Skype is particularly useful when taking notes while on a phone call, for example, while interviewing.)
