Skype or....?
« on: February 19, 2012, 04:47:23 pm »
How many of you use Skype?  I do, and it is fun talking and seeing my friends, relatives and talking to them at the same time. I have a few that refuse or too set in there ways to try Skype. But they do have Google, and I think Google Plus. I know Google + has something similar, but I have not used it yet.

Has anyone out there in the forum used it?,  If so, does it work well and where exactly do you go to get it up and running?

I like Skype a lot. I am in a long distance relationship so it really helps things. I believe you can download it off the internet for free, just google it.

For personal video chatting I do use Skype quite often (I use Lync for business purposes). I haven't used Facebook's video chat feature, but I think Skype is powering this medium now and I might try this one day. I don't have a Google+ account, but if more people I know start using this I might try this avenue with the video chat option.

I use Skype every day and have my blog linked from my profile there. It's amazing how many referrals I have added that way. What makes me shake my head is how many people I meet on Skype that have no profile at all or not even a personal photo of themselves. I bet they go to parties with a ski mask on!

I have never used it.  My family and friends do not use it.

Skype is a great networking tool.
I use it daily.  Email is a tool of the past with all the instant messaging systems out there.

I have trouble downloading skype, but if you are interested in conference web chat, oovoo is the way to go.

I don’t use Skype unless it’s absolutely necessary. I used to use yahoo messenger and ICQ 10+ and the like years ago and got tired of late night chats.

Take it from someone who KNOWS how to make money online, Skype is not just a good idea, it's MANDATORY for anyone serious about earning from the Internet. Who are you going to listen to?

ME?  :thumbsup:

Or someone trying to get to $3 in posts for the month?  :bs:

Believe me, if you have problems to overcome in order to get it working on your computer, JUST DO IT!

Then get your profile set up to refer people to something you believe in, preferably your own blog. Add your own photo for the avatar and build relationships. Helping people solve problems they have is the best way, but sharing ideas you got from someone else works too.

You can MAKE MONEY or you can MAKE EXCUSES, but it's really hard to do both.

Thanks for the tip, I looked up oovoo and think I will get a couple of my relatives on it and try a conference video chat. Seems like it will be fun.
