Skype = Simplicity

Skype (rhymes with type) is a software program that was created by a Swedish and Danish entrepreneur.  Skype allows users to make calls from their laptop to other people.  Not only can you call people on their laptop but you can also contact them on their cell phone as well as landlines.  However, calling to mobile phones and landlines cost a small fee.  Calling other Skype users over the Internet is free of charge.  Some other features that Skype has to offer is instant messaging, file transfer, SMS, video conferencing and secure communication.

I mainly use Skype for conference calls and chats with my friends on professional purposes.  However, we use Google Talk for friendly chats.  Skype is compatible on mostly all operating systems.  This includes Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux x86.  Skype is safe and it doesn’t ask you to disable your security systems such as your firewall so it can operate.  It is secure, not to mention easy to use!  By the numbers, people really trust Skype and its services have many benefits for personal or business use.  As of September of 2007, over 245.7 accounts were active in the world.  Skype is very neat and organized and can also be accessed on your cell phone, which allows you to call people on their laptop while you are mobile.  There are also many tools that Skype offers to users so that they can share with their friends or colleagues.  They serve important purposes, like creating sharing documents fast and easily.

Skype is one of the best Instant Messaging tools on the market right now.  Not only does it give you many features for free or for a small fee, but it is simple to use and makes communication painless.  If you are thinking about starting a business or just want to talk to friends and family, consider downloading Skype on your computer.
