You have heard a lot of Skype lately, mainly due to the fact that we use it to record the WinCustomize SkinCast.  It's a great way for people across the country, or world, to communicate and participate in podcasts.  While Skype has some advanced features, it's really easy to get the basics setup, and within just a few minutes you can be online.

Once you get it installed, just signup for your account, add some contacts, and you are pretty much set.  You do need some type of microphone and a broadband connection to use Skype. 

If you would like to participate in one of our SkinCasts, or would just like to leave a voice question or message for the show, then just PM me, e-mail me at sscott [at] stardock.com, or add me as a friend on Skype.  We can then arrange something from there.
