If you haven’t checked out Skype yet, then head over to skype.org and hook yourself up. For those of you who don’t know what it is read on. Everyone else can find me online as arack99.

What is Skype?
Skype is free and simple software that will enable you to make free calls anywhere in the world in minutes. Skype, created by the people who brought you KaZaA, uses innovative P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other Skype users. If you are tired of paying outrageous fees for telephony, Skype is for you!

This app actually works. I’ve tried them all before. SIP Phone, MSN Voice chat, Netmeeting, etc… Skype actually worked through my firewall with zero configuration. The voice quality is excellent and the fact that you can have more than two people in a conference makes this app superior to the rest. The interface could use a little work, but I’m not complaining. I just need a couple more headsets and I’ll be using this everywhere I normally use IM.
