Skype is a program/service that allows phone and video calls to be made to anyone with an internet connection and access to the program. The service used to place calls is a voice over Internet protocol.Once you create a log-in and find the contacts you wish to call, simply add them to your contacts and you will be able to place a call. It is possible to make a voice only call or a video call. You can also share files and screen views right in the program.
I have never used Skype personally. Using the program in OAD 220 is the first time I have ever used the service. It is very similar to Facetime, which is Apple's program to place voice and video calls.
Skype is great for use in business because so many people have access to the Internet. It allows for people to make calls around the globe for free. It is also great because you can meet virtually with someone and be able to see them and their computer screen. It is a great alternative to meeting face to face. The ability too share files during a business call is also very helpful.
Before next class, I will not get much done, since I am sitting in the next class right now. I did complete a 3-5 minute podcast about Bonnaroo and uploaded it to Blackboard.
